Claim 7:
8. A connection structure between a printed circuit board and a terminal block, the connection structure comprising:
an insertion portion at one end of the printed circuit board, wherein a surface of the insertion portion comprises a pattern;
a terminal-block main body comprising a receiving port that receives the insertion portion;
a nut held in the terminal-block main body;
a screw tightened into the nut, wherein the pattern is interposed between the screw and the nut when the insertion portion is inserted into the receiving port; and
a conducting plate having a hole through which the screw passes, the conducting plate being in direct contact with the pattern, wherein
the conducting plate is an elastic body that integrally comprises, in relation to an axial direction of the screw and an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the axial direction:
a first support that is inserted into the terminal-block main body in the axial direction;
a conducting portion that:
extends in the orthogonal direction from a base end of the first support that is opposite to a tip end of the first support,
is interposed between the pattern and the nut,
is folded back in a U shape, and
is interposed between the pattern and a head of the screw; and

a second support that extends from an end of the conducting portion in a direction opposite to an insertion direction of the first support.
