Abstract
The disclosed embodiments represent novel compact terminal blocks and novel compact side-by-side assemblies of an elongated terminal block, a wiring channel at one side, and an electric circuit structure at its opposite side. Current paths slant prominently in traversing the terminal block, including slanted end portions of wiring from the wiring channel and slanted conductors in the terminal block. Corner recesses in a first side of the terminal block admit the slanted end portions of wiring from the wiring channel. Corner recesses in the second side of the terminal block opposite the first side contain projecting terminals for plug-in connection to companion plug-in terminals of an electric circuit structure or for soldered connection to conductors of the electric circuit structure, or the second-side recesses (in another embodiment) admit slanted end portions of wiring from a second wiring channel to the terminal block's connecting devices.
