Abstract

A terminal block for coupling with at least one conductive wire includes an insulation base ( 100 ) and a circuit board ( 200 ). A docking chamber ( 101 ) is defined in the insulation base ( 100 ), multiple connecting holes ( 102 ) for inserting the respective conductive wires and multiple through holes ( 103 ) corresponding to the respective connecting holes ( 102 ) are defined on a lateral surface of the insulation base ( 100 ). The respective through holes ( 103 ) are communicated with the docking chamber ( 101 ) and adjacent to the respective corresponding connecting holes ( 102 ). The circuit board ( 200 ) is arranged in the docking chamber ( 101 ), and multiple LEDs ( 210 ) are arranged on the circuit board ( 200 ) corresponding to the respective through holes ( 103 ). The LEDs ( 210 ) are accommodated in the docking chamber ( 101 ), and the respective LEDs ( 210 ) are able to illuminate through the respective corresponding through holes ( 103 ).

Claims (16)
