Re: Re: OT: Connector strips with leaf protection ?

First, to avoid damage to the conductors, you should put bootlace
ferrules on the cables.

http://www.thesitebox.com/Category/5741/single-cordend-terminals.aspx

The crimped cables can then be safely terminated into ordinary terminal
strips.

However, I'd use some DIN terminals for the connections (still put the
bootlace ferrules on);

These can be commoned up using a busbar

You'll also need end stops, end caps and a length of DIN rail.
