Abstract
An internal combustion engine has a cylinder block 20 and is provided with an electrical equipment box A disposed outside the cylinder block 20. A plurality of electrical parts including an ECU 52, a relay box 53 and couplers 54, 55 and 56 are held in the electrical equipment box A. The ECU 52, the relay box 53 and the couplers 54, 55 and 56 are arranged in layers in the electrical equipment box A. The electrical equipment box A has a bottom wall 61 holding the relay box 53, and is provided with a stay 80 holding the ECU 52 and the couplers 54, 55 and 56. The electrical equipment box A facilitates securing a space in which the electrical equipment box A is disposed outside the engine body of the internal combustion engine.
