1. An electrical assembly, comprising:
a terminal block including a conductive bar having a connection end extending within a receiving recess of the terminal block and a main part extending transversally to the connection end, the main part has a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a sidewall extending from the main part beyond the bottom surface, the bottom surface and the sidewall are perpendicular to each other and are formed in a single piece;
a pluggable connector releasably mounted on the terminal block, the connection end of the conductive bar extends in an insertion direction of the pluggable connector in a mounted position within the receiving recess; and
a conductor adapter having a receptacle cooperating with the connection end in the mounted position, the pluggable connector has a central through-opening receiving and removably clipping the conductor adapter, the receptacle has a movable folded portion and a cut and folded portion extending toward the movable folded portion, the movable folded portion is cantilevered and has a free end positioned over the cut and folded portion, the cut and folded portion is spaced apart from the movable folded portion in a non-mounted position and limits movement of the movable folded portion in the mounted position, the free end does not contact the cut and folded portion in the non-mounted position.
