Abstract

A terminal block includes: a nonconductive main body that is attached to a structure; a main terminal that is conductive, passes through the main body, and is disposed on the main body so that both ends of the main terminal project from the main body; a capacitor that is sealed inside the main body; a first connecting conductor that connects one lead terminal of the capacitor and the main terminal; and a second connecting conductor that connects another lead terminal of the capacitor and a conductor of the structure. The first connecting conductor is entirely sealed inside the main body in a state where one end is connected to the main terminal and another end is connected to the one lead terminal of the capacitor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal block comprising:
a nonconductive main body that is attached to a structure;
a main terminal that is conductive, passes through the main body, and is disposed on the main body so that both ends of the main terminal project from the main body;
a capacitor that is sealed inside the main body;
a first connecting conductor that connects one lead terminal of the capacitor and the main terminal; and
a second connecting conductor that connects another lead terminal of the capacitor and a conductor of the structure,
wherein the first connecting conductor is entirely sealed inside the main body in a state where one end is connected to the main terminal and another end is connected to the one lead terminal of the capacitor, and
wherein the one end of the first connecting conductor is formed in a ring shape and one end of the ring shape is press fitted to the main terminal to connect the first connecting conductor to the main terminal.

2. The terminal block according to claim 1 ,
wherein a part of the second connecting conductor connected to the other lead terminal is sealed inside the main body.

3. The terminal block according to claim 2 ,
wherein one end of the second connecting conductor is disposed on an attachment portion, which is provided on the main body in order to attach the main body to the structure.

4. The terminal block according to claim 3 ,
wherein the main terminal is formed in an overall shape of a circular pillar.

5. The terminal block according to claim 2 ,
wherein the main terminal is formed in an overall shape of a circular pillar.

6. An electronic appliance comprising:
the terminal block according to claim 2 ,
a case as the structure to which the terminal block is attached; and
an electric circuit disposed inside the case,
wherein one end of the main terminal is exposed to an internal space of the case and is connected via a third connecting conductor to the electric circuit.

7. The terminal block according to claim 1 ,
wherein one end of the second connecting conductor is disposed on an attachment portion, which is provided on the main body in order to attach the main body to the structure.

8. The terminal block according to claim 7 ,
wherein the main terminal is formed in an overall shape of a circular pillar.

9. An electronic appliance comprising:
the terminal block according to claim 7 ,
a case as the structure to which the terminal block is attached; and
an electric circuit disposed inside the case,
wherein one end of the main terminal is exposed to an internal space of the case and is connected via a third connecting conductor to the electric circuit.

10. The terminal block according to claim 1 ,
wherein the main terminal is formed in an overall shape of a circular pillar.

11. An electronic appliance comprising:
the terminal block according to claim 10 ,
a case as the structure to which the terminal block is attached; and
an electric circuit disposed inside the case,
wherein one end of the main terminal is exposed to an internal space of the case and is connected via a third connecting conductor to the electric circuit.

12. An electronic appliance comprising:
the terminal block according to claim 1 ,
a case as the structure to which the terminal block is attached; and
an electric circuit disposed inside the case,
wherein one end of the main terminal is exposed to an internal space of the case and is connected via a third connecting conductor to the electric circuit.

13. An electronic appliance comprising:
a terminal block including:
a nonconductive main body that is attached to a structure,
a main terminal that is conductive, passes through the main body, and is disposed on the main body so that both ends of the main terminal project from the main body,
a capacitor that is sealed inside the main body,
a first connecting conductor that connects one lead terminal of the capacitor and the main terminal, and
a second connecting conductor that connects another lead terminal of the capacitor and a conductor of the structure,
wherein the first connecting conductor is entirely sealed inside the main body in a state where one end is connected to the main terminal and another end is connected to the one lead terminal of the capacitor;

a case as the structure to which the terminal block is attached; and
an electric circuit disposed inside the case,
wherein one end of the main terminal is exposed to an internal space of the case and is connected via a third connecting conductor to the electric circuit.

14. An electronic appliance comprising:
a terminal block including:
a nonconductive main body that is attached to a structure,
a main terminal that is conductive, passes through the main body, and is disposed on the main body so that both ends of the main terminal project from the main body,
a capacitor that is sealed inside the main body,
a first connecting conductor that connects one lead terminal of the capacitor and the main terminal, and
a second connecting conductor that connects another lead terminal of the capacitor and a conductor of the structure,
wherein the first connecting conductor is entirely sealed inside the main body in a state where one end is connected to the main terminal and another end is connected to the one lead terminal of the capacitor, and
wherein a part of the second connecting conductor connected to the other lead terminal is sealed inside the main body;

a case as the structure to which the terminal block is attached; and
