A disconnect/test terminal block for mounting to a terminal board, the disconnect/test terminal block comprising:
- a body including:
- a front side, and
- a back side including a protruding part;
- at least one internal circuit disposed in the body;
- at least one case wire terminal disposed on the front side of the body and coupled to the at least one internal circuit;
- and
- at least one field cable terminal disposed on the back side of the body on the protruding part and coupled to the at least one internal circuit,
- wherein, when the disconnect/test terminal block is mounted to the terminal board, a case wire terminates on a front of the terminal board via the at least one case wire terminal, and a field cable terminates on a back of the terminal board via the at least one field cable terminal.
A system comprising:
- at least one disconnect/test terminal block, each at least one disconnect/test terminal block comprising:
- a body including:
- a front side, and
- a back side including a protruding part;
- at least one internal circuit disposed in the body;
- at least one case wire terminal disposed on the front side of the body and coupled to the at least one internal circuit;
- at least one field cable terminal disposed on the back side of the body on the protruding part and coupled to the at least one internal circuit;
- and
- block mounting hardware;
- a terminal board comprising:
- a ground plane including:
- a front side,
- a back side, and
- at least one hole protruding from the front side of the ground plane to the back side of the ground plane;
- board mounting hardware coupled to the ground plane;
- wherein the block mounting hardware of each at least one disconnect/test terminal block is coupled to the board mounting hardware;
- and
- wherein the protruding part of each at least one disconnect/test terminal block protrudes through the at least one hole in the ground plane,
- wherein, when the disconnect/test terminal block is mounted to the terminal board, a case wire terminates on a front of the terminal board via the at least one case wire terminal, and a field cable terminates on a back of the terminal board via the at least one field cable terminal.
