Abstract
A pluggable terminal block short circuit prevention system includes a pluggable terminal block having a computing device connector with positive and negative power sub-connectors that connect to a pluggable terminal block connector on a computing device. A power system connector is included on the pluggable terminal block and includes terminal block positive and negative power contacts that are coupled to the positive and negative power sub-connectors on the computing device connector, respectively. The power system connector couples to a power system via power cabling having a power cabling connector that includes power cabling connector positive and negative power contacts that are configured to engage the terminal block positive and negative power contacts when the power cabling connector is connected to the power system connector, with the power cabling connector preventing relative movement between the power cabling connector positive and negative power contacts.
