Abstract
Abstract A connector block having a row of terminal-receiving cavities separated by side walls extending between the top wall and bottom wall of the block and an integral locking bar running the length of the block along the top wall above the cavities and projecting above the top wall. The bar is forced down through the top wall and into the side walls and is welded to the side walls so that it extends into the cavities and confines terminals in the cavities.
