Abstract
Provided is a terminal block structure which includes a base. The base is provided with one or more terminal recesses thereabove. Inside the terminal recess are a holder and an inverted U-shaped nut. The holder and the inverted U-shaped nut mate and engage with each other, and have to be inserted into the terminal recess by a force. The square shape of the inverted U-shaped nut has a retaining effect on the inverted U-shaped nut positioned inside the terminal recess. Hence, a fastener (a screw or a bolt) penetrating the holder and the inverted U-shaped nut and thereby fixing the holder and the inverted U-shaped nut in position is mechanically counteracted by the inverted U-shaped nut, and thus the holder and the inverted U-shaped nut are unlikely to be released from the terminal recess.
