Module, a two-part block which contains U contacts, wire
channels, and cut-off blades. Molded of polycarbonate
with phosphor bronze U-contacts and stainless steel cut-
off blades, the module body-cover assembly and base are
crimped together to terminate Feeder or Distribution pair
with a 3M hand or air hydraulic crimping unit The U-
contacts strip the insulation and mate with the conductors,
and the cut-off blades trim excess wire, in the mechanical
crimping operation. Binder groups may be identified on
the module mounts, and pairs can be identified on tagging
labels on the cover protector.
