A method of manufacturing a wiring module adapted to fit within an electrical box, the wiring module adapted to connect to a functional module, the method comprising:
- terminating at least four electrical wires to corresponding terminals in a terminal set;
- placing said terminals within a non-conductive wiring piece or a non-conductive functional piece;
- and
- connecting said non-conductive functional piece to said non-conductive wiring piece, leaving a plurality of the terminals exposed via a plurality of openings in said functional piece, and with said at least four wires extending from said wiring module, wherein said wiring module comprises said non-conductive functional piece and said non-conductive wiring piece and is configured to fit within said electrical box.
