  • Publication number: 20070004263
    Abstract: A connector block assembly has a connector block and a plurality of end fittings which are attached to at least one wire. Each end fitting is secured to the connector block by being inserted into the connector block and then being rotated to trap the end fitting within the connector pin. Once assembled onto a conductor pin, the conductor pin prohibits rotation of the end fitting with respect to the connector block and thus the disassembly of the end fitting from the connector block.
