Abstract

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.
