Abstract
An electric component for use in a motor vehicle has a casing accommodating an electric circuit therein, and a terminal holder mounted in the casing in covering relation to the open end thereof and supporting electric terminals from the electric circuit for connection to wires. The terminal holder has a tubular member projecting outwardly from the casing and vent holes defined in the tubular member for communication between the space in the casing and the exterior thereof. The tubular member is covered with a cover which provides communication between the vent holes and the exterior only when there is a pressure difference developed between the space in the casing and the exterior thereof.
