Abstract (en)
Terminal block connecting apparatus comprises two test terminal blocks connected with two supports for electrical engagement when the supports are in intermediate condition between disengaged and engaged conditions, and carrier (4) supporting the second test terminal block for displacement relative to associated support where the test terminal blocks remain in electrical engagement during displacement of the supports between intermediate test condition and final connected condition. Terminal block connecting apparatus comprises two supports (6, 3) supporting two main terminal block assemblies and being linearly displaceable in a given direction between successive disconnected, intermediate, and connected positions. The contacts of the terminal blocks are in engagement when the supports are in the connected condition. A first test terminal block (9) is connected with the support. A second test terminal block (8) is also provided. The test terminal blocks have pin and socket contacts. A carrier supports the second test terminal block at a first position on the other support for engagement with the first test terminal block when the supports are in the test position. It displaces the second test terminal block toward a second position relative to the other support when the supports are displaced between the test and connected conditions. The test terminal blocks are maintained in electrical engagement during the displacement of the second test terminal block to second position. A friction retainer (10) normally resists movement of the carrier from one position.
