ABSTRACT:
A connector block 6 for selectively routing wiring connections contains a first terminal strip 12, a second terminal strip 14, and a third terminal strip 16, which are disposed on the connector block 6. The first terminal strip 12 has a first wire receiving terminal 42 which is electrically connected to a first output connector 52. The second terminal strip 14 has a second wire receiving terminal 44 which is electrically connected to a second output connector 54. Similarly, the third terminal strip 16 has a third wire receiving terminal 46 which is electrically connected to a third output connector 56. The connector block 6 also contains a bridging device 22 which can be used for selectively connecting either the first output connector 52 or the third output connector 56 to the second output connector 54 thereby establishing an electrical connection between the second wire receiving terminal 44 and the selected output connector.
