Abstract
A terminal block in which a plurality of metal conductive plates (10) to be connected to device-side busbars provided in a motor are made integral by a connector housing (50) includes a primary molded article (60) in which the plurality of conductive plates (10) are made integral by a connector housing (50); a metal plate (30) to be attached and fixed to a motor case; and a secondary molded portion (70) integrally forming the primary molded article (60) and the metal plate (30). The secondary molded portion (70) is formed by a secondary molding die including both upper and lower dies (90, 91) and a slide die (92). Pairs of tight holding portions (69, 69) for tightly holding the slide die (92) are provided on the primary molded portion (61) before the secondary molded portion (70) is formed.
