A high-reliability terminal block and associated jumper link stowage device system has no wire guides in the grooves between rows of insulation-displacement connection chimneys of a terminal block body. A device has a plate with a row of teeth at the same pitch as the chimneys extending perpendicular to the plane of the plate. The teeth are wider than the grooves of the terminal block.

System comprising high-reliability terminal block and associated jumper

The connection strip is an insulating block in which connection elements are mounted to define insulation displacement connectors in rows of chimneys on a front face of the block, and rows of other connectors on the rear face of the block. The chimneys are separated from one another by transverse slots extending across their rows and they are capable of receiving single or twin pushers in such a manner as to be held captive between a pulled-out position and a pushed-in position in the chimneys. The connection strip includes end wire-passing pieces on the front face of the block, and is applicable to telecommunications.
