ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a terminal block especially suited for rapidly wiring small appliances. The block has an insulating housing holding a plurality of electrically-conductive connectors and in the improvement, at least a first connector is bifurcated to define a pair of jaw-like wire-grasping structures for electrically connecting a pair of wires to one another. The structures are separated by a tongue-like barrier for easy guided insertion of a single wire into each structure. The block is also disclosed in combination with an appliance enclosure having a platform supporting the terminal block. The platform has at least one block retention stud, the terminal block includes at least one surface deformation and the stud and the deformation coactively engage to restrain movement of the block.
