Abstract
A terminal block for distributing telecommunication signals, the block including a base, an outer housing, internal contacts, actuators and threaded bolts, the actuators engaging and disengaging feed wires with and from the contacts. The interior space occupied by the contacts, bolts and actuators is divided into front and back chambers and protective dielectric gel is injected but cured only in the front chambers. During movement of the actuators less dielectric material is extruded out of the block and thus electrical integrity of the block is enhanced.
