SEALED INSULATION DISPLACEMENT TERMINAL BLOCK

摘要

An environmentally sealed insulation displacing terminal block (20) comprising: a housing having an entry passage (52); stationery wire support means in the housing; insulation displacing contact means (10) in the housing; means (100) for moving the insulating displacing contact relative to the stationery wire support means in the housing to displace insulation and contact conductor supported by the wire support means; and a volume of encapsulant in the housing, the volume being sufficient to prevent entry of moisture through the entry passage, the insulation displacing contact means (10) being configured to permit substantially unobstructed flow of encapsulant around the insulation displacing contact means (10) upon movement of the insulation displacing contact means (10) through the housing.
