When in the first position, a first end of the connectors are exposed for receiving a plurality of wires. When in the second position the second end of the connectors are exposed for receiving electrical wires. Guideways are disposed on ends of the assembly for guiding a first plurality of wires to the second ends of the connectors. A second set of guideways are provided on the base member and the panel member intermediate the side ends for guiding a second plurality of wires from an intermediate location through the guideways and to the first ends of the electrical connectors. Latch mechanisms are provided for releasably securing the terminal member to the base member in either of the first or second positions and a window formed in the base member provides for flexing of wires as the terminal member is rotated between either of the first and second positions.
