RE: connector blocks

["Mick Furlong" <hiltoneltd@xxxxxxx>]

not a terminal block but another smaller crimp connector I have seen
used for telco wires over here ( in Ireland. It is pretty tiny and
basically is a bit of metal enclosed in clear soft plastic, stuff the
wires in, crimp and away you go. Not sure of name or current rating
but I will check them out next time I go to my electrical wholesaler
and let you know.

Could do - but bulky again. What I'm after is a high density terminal
block of some sort (not PCB mount though).

When i was installing alarms most installers (not all) didnt know what
a
soldering iron was and just twisted and taped a lot of their
joins...Even
heard of installers using silicone to fix pirs.......
Professional people indeed........

What about using Krone blocks..????
