Method and process for manufacturing a terminal block

A method of manufacturing a terminal block for a telecommunication cable comprising:

• providing a preformed substrate member comprising an elongated podium member, the elongated podium member having a plurality of wire receiving slots on an outer edge of the podium member and a plurality of electrical connector slots positioned within the podium member, wherein the plurality of wire receiving slots are arranged in pairs having a first and a second wire receiving slot, which are configured to receive one wire each of a pair of insulated electrical wires, an electrical connector in each of the plurality of electrical connector slots, each electrical connector having a pair of electrical contacts extending therefrom, and at least one insulated electrical wire attached to a first end of each of the electrical contacts;
• placing the substrate member in a mold;
• and
• injecting a dielectric material by a force of greater than 1 g into the mold containing the electrical connectors and the electrical wires, wherein the dielectric material surrounds at least the first end of the electrical connector and the podium member.
