The electric junction box includes a casing 20-23 and a plurality of busbar conductors 30 accommodated in the casing, each of which consists of an insulating substrate 31 and a plurality of busbars 32 with upright tabs 33 arranged face-to-face on the substrate 31. The busbar conductors 30 are accommodated in at least two blocks A1 and A2 in the casing and wires 40 are provided for electrically connecting desired busbars 32 in different and/or the same block. The above construction allows a circuit-change to be made with ease and unnecessary circuits to be precluded. The overall weight and production costs of busbar conductors and thus the junction box are reduced. |

A screw with an unthreaded spaced away radial flange portion on its shank may be tightened and released within a bore without falling from the bore once released. The assembly of the screw and a strain relief bushing permits the conventional strain relief bushing to optionally hold and release cable without risking the loss of the retaining screw from the bushing. |

A terminal block cover provides a cover body having a latch mechanism depending from a side edge of the cover and a hinge mechanism depending from the opposite side edge. The hinge mechanism includes a clip that engages the terminal block's fanning strip, a separable hinge connected between the clip and cover body for permitting removal of the cover body from the terminal block, and a locking device that prevents the cover body from being removed from the terminal block except when it is in a predetermined rotational position on the hinge. The clip provides a prong that engages the fanning strip to index the clip in a fixed position so that the cover body can be reinstalled at the original position. In addition, the clip is held to the hinge mechanism by spring fingers on the hinge pin housing, which cooperate with the locking device to hold the clips in attachment to the cover body even when not installed on a terminal block. |

This apparatus includes a series of terminal boxes having a base and a detachable lid. Each accommodates a PCB. The terminal boxes are shaped to nest neatly alongside one another. Electrical interconnection between PCB terminals in adjacent terminal boxes is achieved by way of conductive straps which are located partially in a recess in the base of one terminal box and partially in an aligned recess in a neighboring terminal box. Conductive pins extending from the PCB terminals into the base, where they engage the ends of the straps, complete the connections. Provision is also made for connection of the PCBs to external devices, such as switches, batteries and so on. In all cases, the straps, PCBs and pins are concealed so the apparatus is neat and orderly in appearance. |

A terminal block assembly has a dielectric body and a plurality of terminals therein. The terminals are retained by a plate that engages the body of the terminal block through a slide. Spring tabs on the plate engage recesses in the body to prevent sliding movement of the plate in one direction. A bracket for removably snap-fitting engagement with the terminal block is adapted to be mounted on a supporting surface. With the block removed, the bracket presents a channel into which a cable bundle may be positioned without obstruction. The terminal block provides a closure for the open side of the channel. |

A terminal strip comprising, in preferred form: an elongate base for supporting plural serially disposed electrical terminal insert means, and base comprising two perpendicular feed-through apertures therein, the terminal insert means having a pin selectively insertable through each one of the apertures for engagement with a terminal strip supporting surface to effect either upright or side mounting of the base to the surface. A pedestal having a plug insertable into the base is provided for additional support to the base upon side-mounting thereof.

An electrical ribbon cable having a plurality of conductors positioned substantially within the same plane is mounted within a connector housing to a plurality of connecting terminals by contact screws having pointed ends for puncturing the insulation surrounding the ribbon cable to contact respective ones of the conductors. The flat surfaces of the ribbon cable include at least one longitudinal groove and a recess is formed in the connector housing conforming to the cross section of the ribbon cable and has at least one projection engaging with the longitudinal groove on the ribbon cable to predetermine the alignment of the conductors with the connecting terminals. The connector housing is provided with an insulating support forming the recess and a removable cover; the insulating support includes rib members and the cover has recesses aligned with the rib members so that the cover is mounted in only one predetermined position. The cover has passages through which external conductors are attached to the respective connecting terminals.
