As is apparent from the above description, in the electric junction box with an electronic circuit of the present invention, the electric circuit side electric connection portion of the connection terminal of the housing is laterally fitted to the circuit portion of the electronic circuit board. After setting the electronic circuit board on the pedestal of the lower case while fitting the electric connection part of the connection terminal on the bus bar side from above from the tab of the bus bar set on the lower case, the upper case is placed on the lower case. When covered and locked, the electronic circuit board is pressed against the pedestal through the housing by the pressing shoulder provided in the upper case, and is automatically fixed in the electrical junction box. Therefore, the conventional case for accommodating the electronic circuit board can be eliminated, and the cost can be reduced.

If the upper case is prevented from being covered with the lower case when the electronic circuit board is displaced, the bus bar fitting portion of the connecting terminal of the housing is fitted into the tab of the bus bar in a normal state. Since it can be easily understood that the electronic circuit board is in the half-fitted state, the electronic circuit board can be prevented from being half-fitted.
