1. A terminal block which can be coupled to another terminal block along a first direction in an electrically connected state, the terminal block comprising:
a housing including a first wall portion provided on a first side in the first direction and extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a second wall portion provided on a second side in the first direction and extending in the second direction; and
an input-side power supply terminal and an output-side power supply terminal that are arranged along the second wall portion inside the housing and can be connected to an input-side power supply line and an output-side power supply line, respectively, wherein
the housing includes:
a protruding portion that protrudes from the first wall portion in the first direction and in a direction away from the second wall portion and functions as an obstructing member that hinders connection of the input-side power supply line to the input-side power supply terminal; and
a through hole that is arranged in a vicinity of the input-side power supply terminal of the second wall portion and penetrates the second wall portion in the first direction to allow insertion of the obstructing member.
