JUNCTION BOX - A box with a cover that serves the purpose of joining
different runs of wire or cable and provides space for the connection and branching of the
enclosed conductors .
JUNCTION DIODE - A two-terminal device containing a single crystal of
semiconducting material that ranges from P-type at one terminal to N-type at the other .
