Device connector and method of producing it

摘要

An object of the present invention is to suppress production cost by using a metal plate while preventing crack formation in synthetic resin. The present invention concerns a terminal block to be attached to a motor case. The terminal block includes a metal plate 30 made of a metal plate material as a base material, formed with an opening 31 penetrating in a plate thickness direction of the plate material and to be attached and fixed to the motor case; a connector housing 50 made of synthetic resin and fixed to the metal plate 30; and conductive plates 10 held in the connector housing 50 while penetrating through the opening 30. The connector housing 50 includes a flange 52 which covers an opening edge portion of the opening 31 while exposing an outer peripheral edge portion of the metal plate 30. The flange 52 includes a wire-side flange 52A slidable relative to the upper surface of the metal plate 30, a device-side flange 52B slidable relative to the lower surface of the metal plate 30 and a coupling portion 52C arranged in the opening 31 and coupling the both flanges 52A, 52B.
