Abstract
[Problem] To provide a compact terminal block. [Means for solving problem] A terminal block 1 includes: a terminal block main body 2 on which a plurality of seating surfaces 13 are provided; a plurality of fixing members 3 penetrating first and second connection terminals and fixing the first and second connection terminals to the seating surfaces 13 in a manner that the first connection terminals are connected to electronic devices, and the second connection terminals 8 to be electrically connected to the first connection terminals are overlapped with the seating surfaces 13. The seating surfaces 13 are sloped relative to a direction W that the first and second connection terminals are arranged.
Claims4
A terminal block comprising:
- a terminal block main body on which a plurality of sloped seating surfaces integrally fixed to the terminal block main body are provided;
- a plurality of fixing members for penetrating first and second connection terminals and fixing the first and second connection terminals to the sloped seating surfaces in a manner that the first connection terminals connected to electronic devices, and the second connection terminals electrically connected to the first connection terminals are directly overlapped with the sloped seating surfaces,
- wherein the sloped seating surfaces are sloped on an incline of the terminal block at different heights relative to a direction that the first and second connection terminals are arranged and a sloped angle of the sloped seating surfaces is fixed owing that the sloped seating surfaces are integrally fixed to the terminal block main body;
- a connector having a plurality of terminal fittings attached extraneously to a case receiving the terminal block;
- and
- a sloped connector clearance formed on one of peripheral walls in the case through which the connector is attached,
- wherein the terminal fittings are arranged along the sloped connector clearance in the case, and
- wherein each fixing member includes a nut recessed into each sloped seating surface.
