[0002] Currently, automobiles commonly use PCB-structured electrical boxes to protect circuits and electrical appliances, while also distributing power. These boxes typically contain relays and fuses, and then transmit signals and current through connectors.

[0003] A typical electrical box connects to the vehicle's circuitry via a connector, serving only the functions of circuit protection and power distribution. Meanwhile, the main assembly is snapped onto the lower cover, which is connected to and secured to the vehicle body. The main assembly often fails to secure itself to the vehicle body, and the connection stability of the electrical box depends solely on the connection between the lower cover and the vehicle body, resulting in relatively low connection stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings in the aforementioned background technology, this utility model proposes an automotive electrical box that solves the technical problem that the connection stability of the electrical box in the prior art relies solely on the connection between the lower cover and the vehicle body, resulting in low connection stability.

A main body assembly is provided between the upper and lower covers, and a bracket for connecting to the vehicle body is provided on the side of the main body assembly. This application provides a bracket on the side of the main body assembly, and utilizes the bracket to connect to the vehicle body. This makes the connection stability of the electrical box dependent on the connection between the lower cover and the vehicle body and the connection between the bracket and the vehicle body. The connection between the bracket and the vehicle body effectively improves the connection stability of the electrical box, solving the technical problem in the prior art where the connection stability of the electrical box depends only on the connection between the lower cover and the vehicle body, resulting in low connection stability.
