Connector block and terminal

摘要

A connecting block is provided which comprises two interlocking parts including a retainer and a snap-on cover. Both the retainer and cover include internal cavities which are sized to receive a plurality of spaced terminal clips and retain the clips in a precise orientation. Each of the terminal clips has a novel V-shaped configuration wherein a stripping slot is located at the base of the V. Two embodiments of clips are disclosed including a single contact and a dual contact clip. Both the single and dual contact clip embodiments include cantilevered members for circuit testing. Thus, the connecting block of this invention will permit either parallel test access or break test access.
