<p>MODULAR CONNECTING BLOCK There is disclosed a modular connecting block composed of a dielectric material containing a plurality of flat, elongate, electrically conductive elements. Each conductive element comprises a flat base portion and at least one pair of opposing contact fingers which project upwardly from the base portion and are integral with the base portion. The adjacent edge portions of the contact fingers are adapted to receive an electrical conductor therebetween. The block comprises a parallelepiped having a projecting edge along the bottom of one longitudinal side thereof. The projecting edge is interrupted at a predetermined distance from one end thereof by a recess therein and at the same distance from the other end by a protruding securing means. The width of the recess is at least as great as the width of the securing means so that when two such blocks are placed with their projecting edges in face-to-face contact, the securing means of one will fit into the recess of the other.</p> |
