An electronic-component-equipped terminal block includes a terminal block including first and second through holes provided in a front wall; an electronic component including a component body first and second leads; and an electrically insulating attachment assistance tool. The attachment assistance tool includes a base portion arranged outside a housing such that a rear surface thereof abuts against the front wall; and first and second insertion portions protruding from the rear surface of the base portion to be thereby inserted into the first and second through hole, respectively. The attachment assistance tool is provided with a first passage portion through which the first lead is inserted, and a second passage portion through which the second lead is inserted, and a receiving portion that receives and accommodates a rear portion of the component body is provided at a front-side position.

An electric device system includes a first unit and a second unit adjacent to each other. An elastically deformable first connecting terminal is provided in the first unit, and a second connecting terminal is provided in the second unit. When the first unit is assembled in the second unit, the first connecting terminal comes into contact with the second connecting terminal after sliding on an outer surface of a casing of the second unit. A bulging surface is provided in an exposed surface of the first connecting terminal, and a recess is provided in an exposed surface of the second connecting terminal. A part of the bulging surface and a part of an opening edge of the recess come into press-contact with each other by fitting a part of the bulging surface in the recess, thereby establishing electric conduction between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal.

A conductor connection tool includes a terminal platform base, a conduction fitting accommodated in a fitting recessed part of the terminal platform base. The conduction fitting is formed in a substantially U shape and includes a bottom plate portion, a vertical portion bent vertically upward from one end of the bottom plate portion, and an attachment portion extending from an upper end of the vertical portion in parallel to the bottom plate portion, and having a terminal portion extending in the opposite direction to the attachment portion. A plate spring bent in a substantially V shape with one side serving as an attachment piece to be fixed to the attachment portion of the conduction fitting with the other side serving as a locking piece whose front end is to be brought into pressure contact with the bottom plate portion of the conduction fitting.
