1. An electrical junction box comprising:
a bus bar;
a frame that holds the bus bar; and
a temperature detection member that detects the temperature of the bus bar,
wherein the temperature detection member includes a detection main body part capable of detecting temperature, and a wiring part extending from the detection main body part, and is held by one or more holding parts,
the frame is integrally molded in a shape including a frame part surrounding a periphery of at least a part of the bus bar that includes a detection target portion to be subjected to detection by the temperature detection member, and at least one holding part of the one or more holding parts,
the at least one holding part of the one or more holding parts is provided so as to be located inward of the frame part, wherein the one or more holding parts include a proximal end portion holding part that holds a proximal end portion of the wiring part that extends continuously with the detection main body part, and
wherein the temperature detection member further includes a thermal connection member that thermally connects the detection main body part and the bus bar to each other, and the one or more holding parts include a connection portion holding part that holds a portion where the thermal connection member and the bus bar are thermally connected to each other.
