Abstract
A control box for an air conditioning unit, which is configured to contain control components and a capacitor. The control box includes a housing having an inverted L-shape, which defines a substantially vertical section and a substantially horizontal section. The horizontal section has an open front defined by peripherally extending edges. One or more of the edges are provided with attachment structure integrally formed thereon. A control panel section for housing the control components has an open back defined by a plurality of peripherally extending edges. The edges of the control panel section are configured to engage the edges of the horizontal section and are provided with attachment structure formed thereon which is configured to cooperate with the attachment structure of the horizontal section to thereby facilitate attachment of the control panel to the horizontal section.
