Abstract: A terminal strip assembly of an electrical conductor terminating system includes a first insulating terminal support block having an essentially M-shaped configuration, with a transverse bight portion, rows of electrical conductor guide portions projecting in a first direction from the same side of the bight portion, and resilient side legs projecting in a reverse direction from locations adjacent an opposite side of the bight portion. A row of U-shaped terminals is mounted on the first support block and each terminal includes bifurcated legs which extend within respective adjacent ones of the guide portions to receive electrical conductors inserted between the guide portions. A connector plug assembly for use with the terminal strip assembly includes a second insulating terminal support block having a row of essentially J-shaped electrical conductor terminals mounted thereon.

Abstract: A terminal strip assembly of an electrical conductor terminating system includes an insulating terminal support block having a transverse bight or body portion and rows of electrical conductor guide portions projecting outward with respect to one side of the bight portion in spaced parallel opposed relationship. A row of U-shaped terminals is mounted on the support block and each terminal includes bifurcated legs which extend within respective adjacent ones of the guide portions to receive electrical conductors inserted between the guide portions. The terminals are retained on the support block by a releasably mounted retaining member. Wires may be connected to the legs of the terminals in the terminal strip assembly individually or in pairs utilizing bulk cable.
