Abstract

A terminal block in which a plurality of metal conductive plates (10) to be connected to device-side busbars provided in a motor are made integral by a connector housing (50) includes a primary molded article (60) integrally formed to a primary molded portion (61) made of synthetic resin with a plurality of conductive plates (10) arranged side by side in a lateral direction; a metal plate to be attached and fixed to a motor case; and a secondary molded portion (70) integrally forming the primary molded article (60) and the metal plate (30). Resin entering spaces, into which molding resin for forming the secondary molded portion (70) can enter, are arranged to cross straight parts of the primary molded portion (61) extending in the lateral direction in the primary molded portion (61) before the secondary molded portion (70) is formed.
