Abstract

A terminal block (10) connects terminals (T) at ends of wires extending from a motor and busbars (B) extending from an inverter and includes nuts (20) on which the terminals (T) and the busbars (B) are placed and which fasten the terminals (T) and the busbars (B) together with bolts (BT). A bracket (40) is arranged below the nuts (20), and a resin portion (50) integrally fixes the nuts (20) and the bracket (40). The bracket (40) includes a mounting portion (42) exposed from the resin portion (50) and is fixed to a metal motor case. An embedded portion (41) is embedded in the resin portion (50).
