ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Terminal connecting blocks or modules are widely used in the telecommunications industry to interconnect equipment and distribution lines, particularly in signal switching or distribution applications. Their primary function is the solderless connection of two or more wires. Such modules provide for a quick, mechanically secure and electrically sound connection. In addition, they provide for relatively simple and fast disconnection, as needed where frequent rewiring is necessary. Thus there is disclosed an electrical connector apparatus com- prising a plurality of metal split cylinder means each including a slot for receiving and engaging an insulated wire to form an electrical connection; a non-conductive housing configured to provide a plurality of cylindrical subhousings each for concentrically supporting one of said split cylinder means, each of said subhousings including slots on diametrically opposed sides with one of said subhousing slots coaxially extending with said split cylinder slot; said subhousings aligned in two rows with said subhousing slots aligned transversely to said rows, the subhousings in each row laterally spaced apart to form a plurality of inter subhousing slots and the subhousings in different rows laterally offset so that one slot of each subhousing is aligned with one of said inter subhousing slots whereby wires to be connected may be laid side by side in said subhousing slots before being inserted in said split cylinders. Thus the dis- closed connector module, installation tool and method of installation provides that a plurality of wires may be secured in place for installation via the wire gripping slots in a single series of operations, and then fully installed in a series of installation operations such that switching back and forth between wire placement and installation with the wire installing tool is not required where two or more wires are sought to be installed sequentially.
