Abstract
A multifunction connector block for use in a luminaire to interconnect circuit components and facilitate assembly and subsequent changeouts. A plurality of similar interconnecting strips are disposed in spaced side-by-side relationship in insulating material. The strips have terminations on one side accommodating a disconnect plug for the line supply and the lamp, and on the other side accepting individual terminal connectors from ballast components. Intermediate terminations are accessible through the top of the block to a plug-in starting aid.
