Abstract

A terminal block has conductors extending from devices placed one over another placed on nuts (10) and fastened by a bolt. A heat sink (40) is arranged below the nuts and an insulating plate (20) is sandwiched in close contact with the nuts (10) and the heat sink (40). A molded resin part (60) covers these three members (10, 20 and 40). The insulating plate (20) includes nut accommodating portions (21) capable of accommodating the nuts (10) and bolt escaping recesses (26) projecting downward from a bottom plate (22) of the insulating plate (20). The heat sink (40) includes accommodation recesses (43) into which the bolt escaping recesses (26) fit. The molded resin part (60) is molded with the nuts (10) accommodated in the nut accommodating portions (21) and the accommodation recesses (43) and the bolt escaping recesses (26) fit to each other.
