ABSTRACT:
A power block includes an insulative block which is mounted to a panel and a plurality of connection mounts which are coupled to the insulative block. The insulative block includes a plurality of molded dividers and the connection mounts are located therebetween. Each connection mount includes at least one stud extending upward from the block and a conductor having first and second portions. The first portion of each conductor is conductively coupled to the one or more studs and the second portion extends through the block in a direction opposite the one or more studs. The second portion includes a free end provided with a connector directly couplable to a destination point. A preferred aspect of the invention is that the conductor is a copper braid partially covered in a tin plated copper sleeve. According to a first embodiment, the connector at the free end of the conductor is a sleeve extending over the free end and having a hole for directly receiving a lead from a power filter. According to a second embodiment, the second portion of the conductor is formed of solid copper and the connector is a tapered free end of the second portion of the conductor which is "pluggable" into resilient clips. According to a third embodiment, the second portion of the conductors are substantially elongate and flexible, and the connector at the free end is a sleeve having a coupling slot or hole.
