TERMINAL COVER, TERMINAL BLOCK AND POWER DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT WITH THE SAME

To provide a terminal block that is freely adaptable to a wiring direction both in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction.SOLUTION: The terminal block is provided that comprises: an insulating block having a step part having height varying in a stepwise manner in a longitudinal direction; lead wire connection terminals provided on respective steps of the step part; and a terminal cover that is fitted with the insulating block and covers the lead wire connection terminals. The terminal cover has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape having one open surface and comprises a pair of short wall surfaces and a pair of long wall surfaces. The pair of short wall surfaces has an aperture through which a lead wire is passed when a wiring direction of the lead wire is a longitudinal direction. The pair of long wall surfaces has a first wall surface covering the lead wire connection terminals when the wiring direction of the lead wire is the longitudinal direction and a second wall surface having a gap part through which the lead wire is passed when the wiring direction of the lead wire is a lateral direction. The terminal cover can be fitted to the insulating block by replacing first wall surface and the second wall surface with each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】リード線の配線方向を縦方向および横方向の両方向に対して自由に対応可能な端子台を提供する。【解決手段】長手方向に階段状に高さが変化する階段部を有する絶縁台と、前記階段部の各段に設けたリード線接続端子と、前記絶縁台と嵌まり合い、前記リード線接続端子をカバーする端子カバーとを備える端子台であって、前記端子カバーは、一面が開口した略直方体形状であって、一対の短手壁面と、一対の長手壁面を備え、前記一対の短手壁面は、リード線の配線方向が縦方向の場合に該リード線を通す開口部を備え、前記一対の長手壁面は、リード線の配線方向が縦方向の場合に、前記リード線接続端子をカバーする第一の壁面と、リード線の配線方向が横方向の場合に、該リード線を通す間隙部を有する第二の壁面と、を備え、前記端子カバーは、前記第一の壁面と前記第二の壁面とを入れ替えて前記絶縁台に取り付け可能である。【選択図】図１
