First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A terminal block comprising: a housing having a resin part; a bus bar integrally including an embedded part embedded in the resin part and a connecting part projecting outward from the resin part; and a seal sealing a gap existing between the embedded part and the resin part, wherein the seal is formed by an adhesive sheet. 2 . The terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive sheet includes a thermosetting resin. 3 . The terminal block according to claim 2 , wherein the thermosetting resin is an epoxy resin. 4 . The terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein the seal is formed by the adhesive sheet wrapped around an outer periphery of the bus bar, in a portion of the embedded part of the bus bar, and the adhesive sheet is in a state where one end face of the adhesive sheet is butted against another end face of the adhesive sheet. 5 . The terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal block is configured to connect an automotive wire harness. 6 . A manufacturing method for a terminal block that has a housing having a resin part, a bus bar integrally including an embedded part embedded in the resin part and a connecting part projecting outward from the resin part, and a seal sealing a gap existing between the embedded part and the resin part, the method comprising: attaching an adhesive sheet to a place on the bus bar where the seal is to be formed; and integrating the bus bar to which the adhesive sheet is attached with the resin part through insert molding, and forming the seal that is formed by the adhesive sheet.
