Abstract

An assembly of one, two or more rows of terminal blocks are movable to allow limited extension and contraction of each row so that the spacing of terminals of a row of the terminal blocks can be varied. A selected form of elongated member has spaced-apart formations that cooperate with the respective terminal blocks to fix the terminals of the row of terminal blocks at inch-based modular positions or at millimeter-based modular positions corresponding to the spacing of electrical equipment terminals.
