Abstract

To provide an electrical junction box having a new structure that includes a plurality of electrical component mounting sections that are open in an upper surface, such that (1) the structure is provided with a drainage groove for preventing accumulation of water without requiring any special space, and (2) the structure can eliminate a problem of heat generation from electrical components. An electrical junction box includes a first and second electrical component mounting section units. A plurality of electrical component mounting sections are arranged in straight lines to from the first and second units, respectively. The first and second electrical component mounting segment units are separated apart from each other by a given distance and are arranged in parallel with each other. A heat radiation drainage groove is provided between opposed portions of peripheral walls that constitute the adjacent first and second units. The heat radiation drainage groove is provided in at least one end with an end opening that extends to ends of the first and second units and is open in an outer peripheral surface.
