  • Patent number: 8776365
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a terminal block for a telecommunication cable, which includes providing a housing having a front side and a back side and positioning multiple pairs of electrical connectors in the housing such that one end of each of the electrical connectors is exposed on the front side of the housing and one end of the connector is exposed on the back side of the housing. Each of electrical connectors having an insulation displacement contact terminal on the end exposed on the back side of the housing, and connecting multiple pairs of insulated electrical wires to the connectors on the back side of the housing. A dielectric material is pressure molded on the back side of the housing to encapsulate the connections of the wires and the connectors on the back side of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20100287769
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a terminal block for a telecommunication cable comprising the steps of providing a mold having a first half and a second half, each forming a respective body cavity configured to form a terminal block and configured to receive a substrate comprising a plurality of openings adapted to receive an insulated electrical contact. A plurality of projections extend from the first half into the cavity, wherein the plurality of projections are adapted to remove a portion of insulation from the electrical contact positioned within each of the openings. The substrate is positioned in the mold and the insulated electrical contact is inserted into each of the openings. The mold is closed such that the plurality of projections remove a portion of the insulation from the insulated electrical contact upon closing of the mold. A dielectric material is then injected into the mold containing the substrate and insulated electrical contact to form a terminal block.
