According to the second aspect of the present invention, the first aspect is provided.
In addition to the effects of the described invention, a plurality of pairs of wire insertion holes and wire guide portions are provided so as to be arranged in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface in plan view from the front side, and adjacent pairs arranged in a direction substantially parallel to the front surface. Since the two pairs of electric wire insertion holes and the electric wire guide are formed with different distances with respect to the front surface, the distance between the electric wires inserted into each electric wire insertion hole can be increased. For this reason, a space for inserting a finger between the electric wires to be inserted into the two adjacent electric wire insertion holes can be widened, thereby facilitating the wiring operation. This is because the distance between two adjacent wire insertion holes is not changed when viewed in a plan view from the front side. Therefore, even if a plurality of circuit breakers are juxtaposed, the wire inserted into the adjacent circuit breaker is not changed. There is no difficulty in wiring work. Moreover, since the wires inserted into the two adjacent wire insertion holes are spaced apart,
Electromagnetic interference that should affect each other can be reduced.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the second aspect.
In addition to the effects of the described invention, since the wire for the neutral phase of the supplied power was inserted into the wire insertion hole whose distance based on the front is shorter, the wire insertion hole that is the wire insertion hole closer to the front is Although the hand is easy to touch, even if the conductive wire for the neutral phase is broken and the conductive wire is exposed, even if the bare conductive wire touches the hand, the wire inserted into the wire insertion hole is neutral Because it is a phase wire, there is little risk of electric shock.

In the invention according to claim 4, claim 1
In addition to the effects of the inventions described in 3 to 3, since the electric wire insertion hole and the electric wire guide portion are formed so as to face obliquely with respect to the front surface, the electric wire insertion hole may be oriented vertically or horizontally. If the front surface and the back surface are made vertical or horizontal as compared with the case, the wire insertion hole and the wire guide portion can be surely turned obliquely upward or downward. For this reason, compared with the case where an electric wire insertion hole turns to a perpendicular direction or a horizontal direction, there exists an effect that an electric wire insertion hole can be visually recognized from diagonally upward or diagonally downward.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the first aspect.
In addition to the effects of the inventions described in 4 to 4, the end of the wire guide portion is extended to the front side, so that when the wire is pressed from the front side toward the wire receiving surface, the wire can be guided to the wire receiving surface, and the wire can be guided. It can be more easily guided to the wire receiving surface and eventually to the wire insertion hole.
