Abstract

A terminal housing for surface-type resistance heating elements includes interlocking housing sections which snap together to form compartments in which connections to the heating elements are mechanically and electrically protected. The use of identical housing sections with integral locking and strain relief provisions allows the terminal housing to be used with a wide variety of types of connections without the need for a large inventory of components.
