ABSTRACT:
A finger-safe terminal block has an insulator base with two separate rotatable screws in screw apertures leading to first and second clamp areas. First and second conductor apertures also lead to these clamp areas. A tool access end accessible from the exterior of the base is provided on each screw so that tightening of each screw is adapted to physically clamp an end of an external conductor in the respective clamp area. The screw apertures and the conductor apertures at the exterior surface of the base are smaller than an adult human's fingertip so that such fingertip cannot touch any electrically energizable conductor in the terminal block. The foregoing Abstract is merely a resume of general applications, it is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
