Embodiment Construction

[0028]Preferred embodiments of a terminal block and a power supply apparatus will now be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0029]A power supply apparatus 100 depicted in FIG. 1 is one example of an “electronic appliance” according to the present invention and is configured by housing a circuit board 2, on which a terminal block 1 has been attached, inside a casing 3.

[0030]The circuit board 2 is one example of an “attached substrate” for the present invention. A conductive pattern, not illustrated, is formed on the circuit board 2, and the terminal block 1 and various electronic components, not illustrated, that construct a power supply circuit are mounted on (attached to) the circuit board 2. The casing 3 is one example of a “casing” for the present invention, includes an upper case 13a and a lower case 13b formed of metal plates, and is configured so as to house the circuit board 2 in a state where the terminal block 1 has been attached. Here, as described later, inser

Abstract

A terminal block includes: a terminal body with a screw hole for a screw used to connect a wire; and a terminal holder that holds the terminal body and has a substrate facing portion placed facing a first surface of a substrate. The terminal block is attached to the substrate by soldering the terminal body to a conductive pattern of the substrate with the substrate facing portion facing the first surface. The terminal holder has the substrate facing portion at one end in a first direction that becomes parallel to the thickness of the substrate when the terminal block is attached to the substrate. A casing fixing portion equipped with an insertion portion, into which a fastener for fixing the terminal holder to a casing that houses the substrate is inserted, is provided at another end in the first direction of the terminal holder.
