A terminal block device comprising:
- a terminal block body made of an insulating material;
- a cover that is made of an insulating material and covers the terminal block body;
- a shaft member that is held by the terminal block body to engage a terminal of a first wire and a terminal of a second wire;
- a cylindrical relay terminal through which the shaft member is inserted and which is inserted through the cover;
- and
- a fastening member that is mounted on the shaft member to fasten the terminal of the first wire and the terminal of the second wire to the relay terminal, wherein
- the relay terminal includes a first seat surface that is contactable with the terminal of the first wire between the terminal block body and the cover and a second seat surface that is contactable with the terminal of the second wire outside the cover.
A terminal block device to be fixed to a base and electrically connected to one end of a first wire and one end of a second wire, wherein the base houses the other end of the first wire, and wherein the first wire includes a bent portion and a terminal-side portion that extends from the bent portion to the one end of the first wire, comprising:
- a terminal block that is made of an insulating material;
- a terminal portion that is mounted to the terminal block;
- and
- a partition plate that extends from the terminal block perpendicularly to a direction in which the terminal-side portion extends, wherein
- the partition plate is interposed between the other end of the first wire and the base after the terminal block is fixed to the base.
