Insulation displacing connectors (24) of an "inverted" type extend upwardly from a base (14) of the terminal block (12) into connector chambers (66) of driver modules (50) movable relative to the base (14) between upper and lower positions. Passageways (70) within the modules (50) direct service wires (46) moved through the passageways (70) into the connec- tor chambers (66) and into entrance openings (30) un- derlying upper edge portions (28) of the insulation displacing connectors (24) within the chambers (66). Image Movement of the module (50) from its upper position to its lower position drives the service wires (46) downwardly from the entrance openings (30) of the connectors (24) into and through slots (32) underlying the entrance openings (30), to establish electrical con- tact with the service wires (46) and the connectors (24) and, in the case of larger diameter wires, to im- pale the service wires upon impaling elements (34) re- sisting pullout of the wires. Downward movement of a module (50) also establishes conductive engagement between the connectors (24) and tip and ring conduc- tors (76) of an overvoltage limiting element (74). Sea- lant pump chambers (88) within the modules (50) and cooperating sealant pump elements (92) upon the base (14) of the terminal block (12) introduce reserve sealant material (84) into the modules (50) upon movement of the modules (50) from an upper position to a lower position, to eliminate or at least reduce the size of voids in the sealant material (84). A test clip surface (98) upon the module (50) inclines a test clip (94) attached thereto away from an adjacent clip (94). The modules (50) are driven from their upper positions to their lower positions by thread-form- ing fasteners (58).
