Abstract
The present invention provides a terminal box that enables wirings for solenoid-operated valves mounted on manifolds to be achieved simply and safely without causing leads to be entangled or causing an open circuit. In a terminal box body 4 consisting of a box-shaped housing 6 and a cover 7 that can be mounted to or detached from the front surface of the housing, a terminal block 5 is accommodated so as to move forward and backward. The lower end of the cover 7 is connected to the terminal block 5 using connection shafts 29 in such a way that the cover 7 can rotate. When the cover 7 is opened by being brought down forward, the connection shafts 29 are used as supporting points, and the terminal block 5 can be moved into and out from the housing using the open cover 7.
