Abstract
A connector bus and terminal block arrangement provides quick and secure solderless connections for the parallel connection of multiple power leads. The terminal bus uses an elongate strip of conductive material to electrically connect a multiplicity of terminal wires to a power lead in a solderless connection using a series of resiliently formed clips that provide rapid assembly of the wires in a secure connection. The connector arrangement facilitates its use in a terminal block arrangement that receives the connector in an electrically insulated arrangement. In addition, the terminal block has an arrangement that protects the connector from rain and water.
