Abstract

A terminal block for a cable terminal unit comprises an insulating body which has receiving apertures in which in each of which a respective clamp is inserted which consists of a terminal contact and a separation and/or clamping device. The terminal contact is formed integrally with the separation and/or clamping device and at least one guide surface is provided for a wiring tool. With this construction it is possible to employ for wiring a single-strut wiring tool such as for example a common screw driver, whereby cost savings and operational simplifications may be achieved. Moreover, the terminal block has the advantage of simple and functionally reliable construction.
