That is, the coupling pin 12p of the coupling boss 12 ′ protruding from the inner surface of the first plate 12 of the main body 11 passes through the mounting hole 41 of the substrate 40. The coupling pin 12p penetrates the mounting hole 41 to allow the substrate 40 to be seated on the coupling boss 12 '.

At this time, the relatively large of the fork terminal 44 mounted on the substrate 40 is the mounting portion 45 'is seated on the seating slot 14' formed on the support piece 14 of the main body 11 The connection portion 45 ′ extends above the support piece 14. Both ends of the lower end of the connecting portion 45 'are supported by the edge of the support piece 14 corresponding to the inlet of the seating slot 14'. For reference, an inclined surface may be formed at a portion corresponding to the inlet of the seating slot 14 ′ to smoothly insert the connecting portion 45 ′ of the fork terminal 44.

In addition, in the state in which the substrate 40 is coupled to the main body 11 as described above, the connection bar 18 is positioned between the connectors 46. The connection bar 18 guides the installation position of each of the connectors 46 and makes the installation state firm.

The terminal 48 of the connector 46 is located between the guide pieces 16. In this way, the terminal 48 is seated between the guide pieces 16 to not only insulate between the terminals 48, but also to make the installation state of the terminal 48, that is, the installation state of the connector 46 more firmly. do.

Next, the cover plate 20 is coupled to the main body (11). The cover plate 20 is assembled by hooking the hooking jaw 22 'of the hook hook 22 to the fastening hole 13' formed at the tip of the side plate 13 of the main body 11. Of course, the coupling pin 12p penetrating the mounting hole 41 of the substrate 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 21 'of the insertion boss 21, and the tip of the connection bar 18 is It is to be inserted between the coupling ribs (23). By this, the cover plate 20 is coupled to the main body 11.

When the cover plate 20 is coupled to the main body 11, a relatively small size of the fork terminal 44 is supported by the support piece 24 of the cover plate 20. That is, the fork terminal 44 passes through the coupling slit 24 'between the support pieces 24, and both sides of the lower end of the connecting portion 45' of the fork terminal 44 are supported by the support piece 24. The support pieces 14 and 24 have planes of the same height.

An upper cap 30 is mounted on an upper end of the main body 11 to which the cover plate 20 is coupled. The upper cap 30 is mounted by engaging the coupling legs 34 at both ends thereof to the fastening hole 13 'formed at the upper side of the side plate 13 of the main body 11. In this case, the coupling cut 33 of the upper cap 30 is wrapped around the upper edge of the main body 11 and the cover plate 20.

At this time, power is supplied through an input connector of the connector 46, and is transferred to a fuse, which is a mounting component 36, through a circuit pattern of the board 40. The fuse prevents overcurrent from flowing. The power passing through the fuse is transmitted to the power consumption part via the relay through a counterpart connector connected to the output connector of the connector 46.

On the other hand, when the mounting part 36 is inserted into the component seating part 35, the mounting part 36 is inserted into the fork terminal 44, the fork terminal 44 is pushed. However, the fork terminal 44 is supported by the support pieces 14 and 24 so as not to be pushed back.

According to the component integration box according to the present invention as described in detail above, the following effects can be expected.

First, in the present invention, a plurality of substrate parts and mounting parts are installed in one component integration box so as to control each power consumption part. Accordingly, the control of a plurality of power consumption parts can be performed with one component integration box, thereby simplifying the configuration of a product in which the component integration box is used.

In particular, since the components for the electrical connection between the board parts and the outside, that is, the fork terminal and the connector are installed on the board and the electrical connection is performed using the circuit pattern of the board, the number of components of the component integration box can be relatively minimized. Since the component integration box can be miniaturized, the space required for the installation of the component integration box can be minimized, thereby miniaturizing the product using the component integration box.

In addition, the connector mounted on the board has only its terminals mounted on the board, and the housing is disposed along the edge of the board on the outside of the board. That is, in the present invention, since the housing of the connector is not seated on one surface of the board, the width of the direction is relatively narrowed, thereby miniaturizing the component integration box.

In addition, in the present invention, a support piece for supporting the fork terminal is formed on the main body and the cover plate, and a connecting bar and a guide piece are formed on the first plate of the main body to support the housing and the terminal of the connector mounted on the board. In addition, since the coupling ribs are formed on the cover plate, the installation state of the fork terminal and the connector is firm, thereby increasing the strength of the compact component box. Therefore, there is an effect that can greatly increase the durability of the component integration box.

On the other hand, the guide piece formed on the main body can perform an insulating role between the terminals of the connector can also obtain the effect of increasing the operation reliability of the component integration box.
