Abstract: A limit switch includes: a switch main body capable of being switched on and off; and an operation unit connected to the switch main body. The operation unit includes: a housing having a box shape; a shaft portion including a shaft main body and a cam portion the shaft main body being supported by the housing in a state of being rotatable forward from a return position toward a first operation position around a rotation axis extending in the first direction and being rotatable backward from the return position toward a second operation position opposite to the first operation position with respect to the return position, the cam portion being provided in the shaft main body located inside the housing and being configured to rotate forward and backward together with the shaft main body; a biasing portion configured to return the shaft main body to the return position; and a plunger configured to move in the second direction by rotation of the cam portion to switch on and off of the switch main body, and configured to be able to set an operation mode from either one-side operation or both-side operation.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates making electrical connections. In this terminal block, when an electric wire is inserted in a housing, the end of the electric wire pushes in a block part of a movable member, and a contact part of a locking member with the block part interposed therebetween, thereby releasing the locking of a leaf spring moving part by a hook part of the locking member, and the electric wire is secured by the leaf spring moving part, and the degree to which a display part of the movable member moving in conjunction with the block part is visible through a window part changes according to the change in position of the display part.

Abstract: A connector includes a plug including a first connection member and a socket including a second connection member. The first connection member includes a first body portion and a claw portion. The second connection member includes a second body portion and a connection groove portion. The connection groove portion includes a first groove portion configured to guide movement of the claw portion in the first direction in a state where the second connection member is located at the first position and a second groove portion configured to restrict movement of the claw portion in the first direction and in a direction approaching the plug in a state where the second connection member is located at the second position. The second body portion includes a restricting portion configured to accommodate the claw portion and to restrict rotation of the socket with respect to the plug in the circumferential direction.
