ABSTRACT:
A single modular assembly (10) has two terminals (18) in housing cavities (28) each with a pair of slots (38) for termination by rotary actuation to respective conductors of two cables, for crossconnecting or splicing the tip and ring lines of a customer's service line with those of a cable extending to the main distribution line. Each terminal (18) is in electrical engagement with a circuit wire (40) extending to a separate portion (20) of the module for electrical connection to an active electrode of a protector element (24). The two protector elements (24) each include a ground electrode (76) grounded to a common ground strap (54) which includes a contact section (60,64) exposed along the bottom of the module to be assuredly engaged with a ground strap (122) along the floor (112) of the enclosure (110) upon mounting of the module (10) therein, for grounding to a ground stud for external system grounding.
