Abstract
A wire termination block includes at least one conductive contact; and a body having a base portion and a driving portion, the driving portion having a plurality of apertures for receiving wires and being operable in at least two driving modes to terminate and couple a received wire to the conductive contact. One of the two driving modes may be operable with a tool and the other of the two modes is operable without a tool by a user. For example, the driving portion may include a lever driven mechanism for terminating and coupling the received wires in a first of the two driving modes and a bolt driven mechanism for terminating and coupling the received wire in a second of the two driving modes. The conductive contact may be insulation displacement connector or contact (IDC).
