Terminal block

A terminal block for electrically connecting a plurality of mating terminals provided in a case of a device and a plurality of electrically conductive members, comprising:

• a plurality of terminals made of a metal plate for electrically connecting each of the plurality of mating terminals and each of the plurality of electrically conductive members;
• a bracket made of a metal plate, the bracket being fixed to the case;
• and
• a housing made of resin, the plurality of terminals and the bracket being embedded in the housing,
• each of the plurality of terminals including a first connecting portion projecting from the housing and to be connected to the mating terminal and a second connecting portion projecting toward a side opposite to the first connecting portion from the housing and to be connected to the electrically conductive member,
• the bracket including a fixing portion projecting from the housing and to be fixed to the case,
• the first connecting portion including a connection hole, a bolt used for connection to the mating terminal being inserted into the connection hole,
• the fixing portion including a fixing hole, a bolt used for fixing to the case being inserted into the fixing hole,
• an axial direction of the connection hole and that of the fixing hole coinciding, and
• bending stiffness of the fixing portion being smaller than that of each of a plurality of the first connecting portions.
