1. A cover structure comprising:
- a base that is attached to a circuit substrate of an electric connection box on which an electrical component is mounted, the base being used as a receptacle for a cable that is to be electrically connected to the electrical component; and
a housing that houses the circuit substrate,wherein the base is molded from an insulating material into a unitary body that has a shape including;
a bottomed tube that has an opening into which a plug of the cable is fitted;
a drainage hole that is formed in a portion of a side plate of the bottomed tube so as to extend through a bottom plate; and
a wall that stands upright so as to surround a perimeter of the drainage hole on an outer surface of the bottom plate,a locking rod that covers a bottom plate side of the drainage hole is provided standing upright on an inner side of the housing, andthe locking rod abuts against an inner side of the wall on the outer surface of the bottom plate.

2. An electric connection box comprising:
-
a circuit substrate on which an electrical component is mounted and to which a receptacle for a cable that is electrically connected to the electrical component is to be attached; and a housing that houses the circuit substrate, wherein a base of the receptacle is molded from an insulating material into a unitary body that has a shape including; a bottomed tube that has an opening into which a plug of the cable is fitted; a drainage hole that is formed in a portion of a side plate of the bottomed tube so as to extend through a bottom plate; and a wall that stands upright so as to surround a perimeter of the drainage hole on an outer surface of the bottom plate, the wall is attached to the circuit substrate so as to extend in a direction opposite to the circuit substrate, and a locking rod that abuts against an inner side of the wall and covers a bottom plate side of the drainage hole is provided standing upright on an inner side of the housing. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)

7. An electric connection box comprising:
-
a rectangular circuit substrate on which an electrical component is mounted and to which a receptacle for a cable that is electrically connected to the electrical component is attached; and a housing that houses the circuit substrate between a housing box and a cover plate, wherein a base of the receptacle is molded from an insulating material into a unitary body that includes; a plurality of flat rectangular tubes that are arranged side by side in a longitudinal direction with a predetermined gap therebetween on a rectangular bottom plate; a drainage hole that is formed in a portion of a side plate that opposes the gap, the side plate being included in one of the rectangular tubes that are arranged side by side, so as to extend through the bottom plate; and a thick bottom that is formed on an outer surface of the bottom plate, and includes, on one long side of the bottom plate, a recess that surrounds a perimeter of a bottom plate side-opening of the drainage hole in a U shape, the receptacle is attached to a lateral side of the circuit substrate such that the bottom plate is substantially perpendicular to the circuit substrate, openings of the rectangular tubes face outward so that a side-by-side arrangement direction in which the rectangular tubes are arranged side by side extends along the circuit substrate, and the recess is located distally from the circuit substrate, and a locking rod that abuts against a surface of the U shape of the recess and covers a bottom plate side of the drainage hole is provided standing upright on an inner side of the housing box or the cover plate of the housing.
