1. An electrical junction box, comprising:
a bus bar made of an electrical conductive metallic plate and including
an input terminal section,
a plurality of output terminal sections, and
a fusible link section having narrow fusible portions interposed between the input and output terminal sections;
a housing section containing a part of the bus bar integrally;
a body casing accommodating the housing section detachably; and
a bolt-joining portion between the input terminal section of the bus bar and a terminal coupled to an end of an electrical power source cable being projected over an upper surface of the body casing,
wherein fastening or releasing a bolt associated with the bolt-joining portion can be performed without removing the housing section containing the bus bar from the body casing.
