Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3657605A1] A terminal block has an insertion opening (101) and an exit opening (102) disposed at opposite sides of the insulation base (10). A side opening (103) is located at an outer surface of the insulation base (10) between the insertion opening (101) and the exit opening (102). A conducting terminal structure (20) includes a first conductive sheet (21) and a second conductive sheet (22) connected to the first conductive sheet (21). The first conductive sheet (21) is extended with a stopping plate (211). A spring plate (30) includes an abutting section (31) abutted against the stopping plate (211) elastically. An elastic handle includes a clamping portion (41) and a resilience arm (42). The resilience arm (42) is fixed to the insulation base (10), and the clamping portion (41) presses the abutting section (31). Thereby, the height of the terminal block can be reduced for saving space and cost.
