Abstract
A terminal block includes a housing having an accommodation portion and a through hole, a terminal portion disposed in the accommodation portion, and a plate spring portion that is disposed in the accommodation portion and, together with the terminal portion, holds a wiring member inserted into the accommodation portion through the through hole. A first side wall portion and a second side wall portion are formed in the accommodation portion of the housing, the first side wall portion and the second side wall portion facing each other in a direction that intersects with a direction in which the plate spring portion and the terminal portion hold the wiring member. A movement, in the intersecting direction, of a portion of the wiring member that is inserted into the accommodation portion is curbed by disposing the portion of the wiring member that is inserted into the accommodation portion between the first side wall portion and the second side wall portion. It is possible to obtain a terminal block capable of inhibiting the wiring member held between the plate spring portion and the terminal portion from coming off.
