Abstract
An automotive electrical connection box (10) has a casing main body (11) fastened to a holder (20) by a bolt (B). A mating connector (12) is mounted in the casing main body (11) and is connected with a waiting-side connector (21) in the holder (20) simultaneously with the fastening by the bolt (B). A dummy housing (13) projects from the casing main body (11) at a side of the bolt (B) opposite the mating connector (12), and an opening (22) is provided at a portion of the holder (20) corresponding to the dummy housing (13). The dummy housing (13) and the opening (22) engage and create a stress to balance a stress created upon connecting the waiting-side connector (21) and the mating connector (12).
