Abstract
A terminal block includes a nut, a body portion including a nut holding portion for holding the nut, and a busbar for covering the nut from an upper side along a through axis Z of the nut. The nut holding portion includes an opening for enabling the nut to be inserted into the nut holding portion along an insertion direction Y1 along an insertion axis Y orthogonal to the through axis Z. At least one side surface, out of a pair of side surfaces constituting the opening, is a part of an inner surface of a plate-like side wall. The busbar includes an engaging projection to be engaged with the side wall to hinder the side wall from being deformed to open the opening.
