Abstract
A modular distribution frame is disclosed which includes a module block having first and second parallel opposing rows of wire connectors. Apertures in the block provide access to the connectors. The wire connectors have a wire terminating end and a spring contact finger end. The spring contact finger end of opposing connectors extend into the apertures in releasable electrical contact. An overload protector element is provided adaptable for insertion into the aperture and extending between opposing spring fingers to electrically separate the fingers. The overload protector element includes circuitry to provide electrical connection between the opposing wire connectors through the element.
