Abstract
An enclosure for an electrical terminal block includes a housing having a back wall and projecting side walls which form a bounded chamber. The chamber accommodates an electrical terminal block. A cover is hingedly attached to the housing and may be locked thereto to protect the terminal block housed therein. The cover and the housing are attached in such a manner so that if the cover is not properly locked to the housing, the cover will pop open providing a visual indication to the installer that the cover has not been locked properly to the housing.
