Abstract
A modular terminal block assembly including modular shells having channel shaped and walled ends, multiple housings for insulation displacements connectors and slotted partitions. A universal connector with extending parallel arms connect abutting modular shells, and barrier strips are located within the modular shells abutting the housings. End shells are also attached to the modular shells. Grease is placed in the housing and in activators mounted to the housings. The shells are filled with potting compound where the arms and partitions integral with the shells act as reinforcing elements in the compound. Thereafter the compound hardens so as to strengthen and stiffen the connected shells. This results in a robust assembly.
