Abstract

A power distribution box includes a bottom cover having a lower surface. Disposed on the lower surface are a pair of axially offset feet. Each of the pair of feet has a first portion and a second portion spaced apart from the lower surface of the bottom cover so as to form an opening having a back wall. The second contact surface is spaced further apart from the lower surface relative to the first contact surface by a ramp portion so as to define the opening to be tapered. The opening is configured to receive a front edge of a bracket. Also disposed on the lower surface is a guide having a first portion that is angled relative to an insertion direction of the power distribution box to a bracket and a linear wall portion configured to slidably engage a side edge of the bracket.
