Pass through plates have a body with an opposed first surface and second surface and an attachment member extending therethrough. The attachment member includes a wall structure configured to accommodate placement of an electrical conductor therein. The attachment member may include a recessed section configured to accommodate an outer section of the electrical conductor to prevent rotational movement of the electrical conductor therein. A retaining element is configured to contact the electrical conductor and retain axial placement of the electrical conductor within the attachment member when the electrical conductor is installed in the wall structure. The retaining element may comprise one or more latch elements extending along the attachment member wall and configured to move radially. The retaining element may be configured to contact a portion of the electrical conductor once installed in the attachment member. The attachment element and retaining element are integral with the pass through plate body.

A terminal block is used in an attitude such that a first end portion of a block main body is positioned lower than the opposite second end portion of the block main body. A through hole is provided in the second end portion of the block main body. The block main body includes a rib that extends in the first direction and that, when viewed in the first direction, has a shape that covers a first end portion side of the through hole. A straight line that is orthogonal to a center axis of the through hole and that extends along the second direction is set as a reference line; and a side surface on the through hole side of the rib includes a spaced-apart surface that is spaced farther apart from the through hole the greater the distance from the reference line.
