1. A system, comprising:
a terminal block including
a body,
a plug configured to receive a pin,
a busbar being configured to provide an electrical connection between a wire and the pin,
a spring including a base, an arm facing the base, and a fulcrum where the spring bends to connect the base to the arm, the arm defining an aperture with an edge configured to clamp the wire against the busbar,
wherein the busbar has a guide that extends through the aperture in the arm of the spring;
the spring having an open position where the edge of the aperture is spaced away from the busbar to form a gap to receive the wire,
the spring having a closed position wherein the edge of the aperture clamps the wire against the guide of the busbar to retain the wire,
wherein the spring is biased to the closed position, and
a lever pivotally coupled to the body, wherein the lever is configured to actuate the spring, the lever being configured to pivot to press the arm towards the base by bending the spring at tire fulcrum to move the spring to the open position to receive the wire, the lever being configured to release the arm to allow spring to spring back to the closed position; and

wherein the terminal block is configured to facilitate toolless connection of the wire to the terminal block.
