<p>A terminal box includes a box body 1 having a bottom portion, a terminal portion 3 fixed to the box body 1, a pressing portion 5a, a holding portion 5 and a slide mechanism S. The bottom portion has an opening 1b portion capable of receiving a terminal 4 inserted therein from the outside. The terminal portion 3 is capable of establishing electric conduction between the terminal portion and the terminal 4 upon contact therewith. The pressing portion 5a is switchable between a contacting state in which the pressing portion 5a clamps the terminal 4 with the terminal portion 3 for establishing electric conduction between the terminal portion 3 and the terminal 4 and a spaced state spaced apart from the terminal portion 3. The holding portion 5 holds the pressing portion 5a integrally and is slidable on the box body 1 in the direction of movement of the pressing portion 5a to/away from the terminal portion 3. The slide mechanism S is capable of forming the contacting state by sliding the holding portion 5, the slide mechanism S including a wedge-like member 6 having an inclined wedge face 6a and a pressure receiving face 5b formed in the holding portion. The wedge-like member guides the holding portion to the contacting state by causing the inclined wedge face 6a to slidably enter the holding portion 5 while ensuring a reaction force in the box body 1. The pressure receiving face 5b receives the inclined wedge face 6a through face-contact therewith.</p> |
