Abstract

The present invention provides a junction box, which comprises a base, a housing, and a PCB in the housing, a hole is set in the base, and a supporting frame is set on the base; a terminal corresponding to the supporting frame is set on the PCB; a bus bar can pass through the hole and is set on the supporting frame; the terminal is electrically connected with the PCB; when the housing is coupled to the base, the terminal is pressed to fit the corresponding supporting frame; and the PCB is electrically connected to the bus bar through the terminal. The advantage of the present invention is that the PCB is set on the housing. The supporting frame is matched to the terminal, which can electrically connect the bus bar and the PCB, and install the bus bar, to avoid using screws.
