The insulative body has a receiving room therein and is formed with a pressing hole and a wire hole, which separately communicate with the receiving room. The conductive member is received in the receiving room and has a seat and a contact portion tilted up from the seat. The elastic sheet is received in the receiving room. An end of the elastic sheet is in contact with the conductive member. The pressing member is disposed in the pressing hole and capable of moving toward the receiving room to push another end of the elastic member. The pressing member has a placement slot. Each of two sides of the placement slot has a blocking wall. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A terminal block for being inserted by a wire, comprising: an insulative body, having a receiving room therein, and formed with a pressing hole and a wire hole, which separately communicate with the receiving room; a conductive member, received in the receiving room, and having a seat and a contact portion tilted up from the seat; an elastic sheet, received in the receiving room, and an end of the elastic sheet being in contact with the conductive member; and a pressing member, disposed in the pressing hole, capable of moving toward the receiving room to push another end of the elastic member, having a placement slot, and each of two sides of the placement slot having a blocking wall; wherein the wire is inserted into the wire hole to pass through the placement slot and is pushed by the another end of the elastic member to be in contact with the contact portion; wherein the conductive member is formed by pressing a metal piece, and the contact portion is formed by punching a material hole in the seat and bending upward; wherein an end of the elastic sheet is fastened into the material hole of the seat. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The terminal block of claim 1, wherein the insulative body is a long flat body, and the receiving room is formed in a side of the insulative body. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The terminal block of claim 1, wherein the receiving room of the insulative body is formed with a notch for being embedded by an end of the seat to be positioned. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The terminal block of claim 1, wherein the contact portion is directed toward the placement slot to correspond to the wire hole. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The terminal block of claim 1, wherein the elastic sheet has an elastic portion, a first end extending from an end of the elastic portion and a second end extending from another end of the elastic portion, the first end is in contact with the conductive member, and the second end is fastened with the pressing member. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The terminal block of claim 5, wherein a lower end of the placement slot has an engaging trench for receiving the second end. ### Claim 7 A terminal block for being inserted by a wire, comprising: an insulative body, having a receiving room therein, and formed with a pressing hole and a wire hole, which separately communicate with the receiving room; a conductive member, received in the receiving room, and having a seat and a contact portion tilted up from the seat; an elastic sheet, received in the receiving room, and an end of the elastic sheet being in contact with the conductive member; and a pressing member, disposed in the pressing hole, capable of moving toward the receiving room to push another end of the elastic member, having a placement slot, and each of two sides of the placement slot having a blocking wall; wherein the wire is inserted into the wire hole to pass through the placement slot and is pushed by the another end of the elastic member to be in contact with the contact portion; wherein the elastic sheet has an elastic portion, a first end extending from an end of the elastic portion and a second end extending from another end of the elastic portion, the first end is in contact with the conductive member, and the second end is fastened with the pressing member; wherein a lower end of the placement slot has an engaging trench for receiving the second end; wherein the engaging trench is greater than the placement slot in width. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The terminal block of claim 7, wherein the engaging trench in one of the blocking walls is open.
