Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic-connection terminal block for connecting two conductor wires together, said terminal block including an insulating box and a cover which co-operates therewith. The terminal block is characterized in that the insulating box (1) includes two longitudinal channels (3) spaced apart from each other. The ends thereof, have openings (30) which lead to the periphery of the terminal block and said conductor wires are inserted through said openings. The channels each have a first transversal slot (31). The cover (21) is provided with a connecting part (4) which has two transversal contact blades (5) each with a transversal slot (50), so that when the cover is fitted on the box, each blade enters one of said slots, and said slots surround said conductor wires. The invention applies to connecting together conductor wires of telecommunications circuits.
