ABSTRACT:
A snap-on cover assembly is presented to protect and designate connections made in connector block and bracket assemblies of the type used in the telephonic and related data communications industry. Four resilient latches integral with the one piece snap-on cover are insertable in and form a friction fit with the underside surface of four generally rectangular supporting platforms of a 110 type connector block. Removal of the snap-on cover is accomplished by simply pulling the cover from the connector block, and releasing the latches from frictional engagement with the underside surfaces of the aforementioned supporting platforms of the connector block. The cover of this invention is particularly well suited for snap-lock engagement to well-known type "110" terminal blocks. The covers presented are 50 and 100-pair preferred embodiments. The cover provides protection from unauthorized access and any other undesirable contact with the circuitry. Moreover, a receptacle for snap-in colored or coded tabs is provided for color coding circuitry.
