CONNECTOR BLOCK WITH SOLDERLESS, NON-SCREWED AND STRIPPING-FREE TERMINALS HAVING A POLYTROPIC AIR GAP FOR TERMINATING CABLE WIRES AND DROPWIRE CABLES

摘要

A connector block with solderless, non-screwed and stripping-free terminals having a polytropic air gap for terminating communication cables includes a housing having upper and lower halves, the connector block receiving angular pairs of terminal elements respectively rotated about 180.degree. in separate receptacles of the housing halves in plugged-in relationship. Each terminal element includes, in addition to a terminal contact a centre contact, with a semicircular extension integrally formed therewith on the underside thereof, a groove being formed centrally of the longitudinally axis of the connector block within the housing lower half and including receptacles formed with two different stepped shoulders. An earth bar rotatable about 180.degree. is insertible into the groove at two different levels and formed with tabs engaging in the receptacles.
