1. An electrical junction box, comprising:
a case body accommodating an electronic component; and
an upper cover, wherein
the case body includes a body-side peripheral wall, which has a closed form, and an upper opening, which is located at an upper side of the body-side peripheral wall and covered by the upper cover,
the upper cover includes a cover-side peripheral wall that has a closed form and is arranged on the body-side peripheral wall,
the body-side peripheral wall has a body-side double-wall including a first inner wall and an outer wall,
the cover-side peripheral wall includes
a first wall located between the first inner wall and the outer wall of the body-side double-wall and including an inner surface, and
a bent wall that extends inward and downward from the inner surface of the first wall,
the bent wall includes an inwardly extending first extension section including a proximal end connected to the inner surface of the first wall, a downwardly extending second extension section including a distal end, and a bent section connecting the first and second extension sections,
the bent wall is configured such that the first extension section is located above an upper end of the first inner wall of the body-side peripheral wall in a state that the upper cover covers the upper opening of the case body, and that a portion of the second extension section is located at an inner side of and lower than the upper end of the first inner wall of the body-side peripheral wall in the state that the upper cover covers the upper opening of the case body,
the case body includes a first drain passage that is located at an inner side of the first inner wall of the body-side double-wall and below the bent wall, in the state that the upper cover covers the upper opening of the case body,
the first drain passage is defined by a set of walls of the case body that includes the first inner wall of the body-side double-wall and a second inner wall located inside the first inner wall of the body-side double-wall and facing the first inner wall, and
the bent wall is configured such that an upper end of the second inner wall is located lower than the bent wall, in the state that the upper cover covers the upper opening of the case body.
