Protector apparatus for telecommunications lines

摘要

A protector field, as used in connecting units for telecommunications lines, comprises a metal housing having metal portions, the portions having formations at predetermined spaced apart positions to define protector positions. Terminals extend through an electrically insulating back member for connection to protectors, and for connection of conductors. The metal casing and partitions provide effective grounding means for the protectors. Formations on the portions cooperate with detents on the protectors to give predetermined partial withdrawal of protectors. The formations defining the protector positions can be arranged to provide for one way insertion of protectors.
