Abstract
A modular terminal block assembly having removable terminal block modules which may be individually removed without total disassembly. The base portion of each module has a transverse slot open to the bottom, through which retaining rods pass. Each module also has raised portions around the slots on one side and recessed portions around the slots on the other side of the base portion of the module. The rim portions and recessed portions coact to retain modules placed together in side by side relation. To remove a module, the retaining rods passing through the slot are loosened sufficiently to disengage the rim from the recessed portion of the module, and the individual module is then lifted out of the assembly, the downwardly open slots allowing removal from the retaining rods.
