ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for terminal blocks for interconnecting conductors of multiconductor cables includes provision for two or more terminal block modules. Each terminal block module includes two terminal blocks defined by a tubular housing section extending from a common base section of a dielectric housing and has an annular cavity extending to an open end, and a tubular one-piece terminal is secured therewithin around a center post of the housing section and is rotatable therewithin by a generally tubular actuator also within said annular cavity and adapted to be rotated during splicing of wires. Each terminal block includes a pair of wire-receiving apertures into which wire ends are inserted to extend through insulation piercing slots of said terminal, and upon actuating rotation said slots pierce the insulation and engage the conductor of each wire thus interconnecting them.
