ABSTRACT:
A connector block and terminal assembly adapted for connecting hook-up wires of a cord set to the internal wiring of an appliance, such as clothes washer or dryer, includes an insulator block having terminal receiving cavities for insertion of terminals connected to the internal wiring, the cavities opening outwardly of the block at access apertures where screw threaded fasteners connected to the terminals may be removed to permit connection of the hook-up wires and then the screws reapplied and tightened to effect an electrical connection between the wires and terminals. A nut associated with each terminal is retained in substantial registry with a screw receiving aperture in the terminal, while the screw is removed for connection of the hook-up wires, by tang means on the terminal. Locking tang means on the block cooperate with the terminals to retain them in the block. The connector block is configured for slidable mounting on the appliance and a locking tang prevents unintentional removal.
