With the progress of technology, large panel instruments can be downsized. However, since crimp terminals are connected to the terminals of the panel instrument, it is necessary to provide a gap between the terminals so that the crimp terminals do not come into contact with the screws of the terminals. for that reason,
Even if a large-sized panel instrument can be miniaturized, many terminals cannot be provided, which has been a limitation on miniaturization of the panel instrument. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to realize a terminal block that can be downsized without the need to provide a gap between terminals.
