Abstract
A terminal block equipped with a cover includes a cover and a terminal block. The terminal block has pivot plates on two sides. Each pivot plate has a coupling trough. The cover has an axle on one side, to be wedged in the coupling trough, so that the cover may be hinged on one side of the terminal block. The cover may be turned to shield the terminal block. Wedging of the axle in the coupling trough also forms an anchoring effect to position the cover on a correct location relative to the terminal block, so that the cover can fully shield the terminal block, to provide desired covering and protection.
