Abstract
A screwless terminal block allows easy insertion and removal of a wire. A housing () includes a fixture insertion opening () through which a rod-like fixture () is inserted to come in contact with a contact pressure spring () and deform the spring () away from a wire (). When the fixture () is inserted through the fixture insertion opening (), an acute angle of 45° or less is formed by an axis of the fixture () and a straight line connecting a contact point A between the housing () and a part of the fixture () adjacent to the wire insertion opening () and a contact point B between the housing () and a part of the fixture () adjacent to the spring () at a cross-section taken along a plane including the axis of the fixture () and parallel to a pressing direction of the spring ().
