Abstract:
A wire terminating module comprising:a base defining a cavity; a base cap attached to the base and substantially covering the cavity; at least one wire insertion hole formed through the base cap into the cavity, the wire insertion hole receiving a conductive wire therein; at least one conductive contact disposed within the cavity; and an actuating arm that is movable between a disconnected position in which the conductive wire does not engage the conductive contact and a connected position in which the conductive wire engages the conductive contact, the actuating arm having an opening formed therein for receiving the conductive wire such that the opening is aligned with the wire insertion hole when the actuating arm is in the disconnected position and the opening is not aligned with the wire insertion hole when the actuating arm is in the connected position.
