The fuse box body 1 has a built-in vent membrane hole 5, and a polymer vent membrane is adapted to the vent membrane hole 5 for the internal and external heat transfer of the sealed cavity 10. The process involves exchanging parts, inserting the buckle 18 into the slide groove 15, and securing the buckle 18 with the boss 16. The keyway 21 prevents misalignment of the rear housing body 3 during installation, thus completing the installation of the rear housing body 3 at the bottom of the fuse box body 1. The rear housing body 3 and the fuse box body 1 combine to form a wire harness cavity 22. Then, the rear fuse box body 1 is fixed to the vehicle frame bracket using fixing bolts, the second fixing hole 13, and the third fixing hole 14. Finally, the automotive wire harness is passed through the connecting tube 19 and secured with the wire harness through the corrugated tube slot 20 to prevent the wire harness from detaching, thereby improving the practicality of the structure.
