A detachable terminal block configured to toollessly connect to a wire and an outlet. The terminal block includes a spring and a busbar. The spring is configured to selectively couple the busbar to the wire. The terminal block further includes a lever that is operable to compress and relax the spring. The busbar includes a socket that is configured to receive a pin in the outlet. The terminal block includes couplers that are configured to connect multiple terminal blocks together. In one example, the couplers include pegs and holes. The holes are configured to receive the pegs and couple multiple terminal blocks together using a friction fit. The terminal block is formed from two pieces that are configured to couple together. In one example, the pieces couple together using pegs and holes and/or a snap-fit connection.

A modular connector plug configured to toollessly attach to a cable. The connector plug is formed from a plug body that includes a base and a cover. The base and the cover are coupled through a hinge. The hinge allows the base and the cover to rotate. When a cable is positioned in the base, the connector plug clamps onto the cable by rotating the cover about the hinge. The cover includes contacts that are configured to couple to wires within the cable. The connector plug supports multiple arrangements of wires within the plug body.

A banana plug including a body, a male portion, a female portion, and a lever. The male portion is configured to extend from the body to electrically connect with a receptacle. In one example, the receptacle is a piece of audio/video (AV) equipment. The female portion is configured to receive a wire and/or other electrical component. The lever is configured to actuate between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the lever is configured to actuate an internal spring to receive a wire. In the closed position, the lever is configured to release the internal spring to secure and/or retain the wire via a compression force.

A terminal block including a body, a plug, and a lever. The plug extends from the body to connect to an outlet. As the plug connects to an outlet, the plug is configured to receive an electrical pin and/or another conductor. In one example, the outlet and pin are part of an audio device. The body is configured to receive a wire and/or another conductor. The lever is configured to actuate between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the lever is configured to compress an internal spring to receive a wire. In the closed position, the lever is configured to release the spring such as to retain the wire.
