Abstract
A power input terminal block includes terminals received in the terminal channels of a housing, each of which has a main body defining a wire cavity that receives a power wire and a tap tab electrically connected to the main body. The power input terminal block includes clamp contacts coupled to the tap tabs, each with a base, a spring beam extending from the base, and a cap extending from the spring beam that has an insertion window configured to receive a tap wire. A lip defining the insertion window engages the tap wire and pulls the tap wire against the wire side of the tap tab.The power input terminal block includes release levers attached to the housing to move the spring beam to an extended position to allow loading and removal of the tap wire from the clamp contact and tap tab.
