The other commonly used wire termination style that utilizes a screw is the wire protector version, or wire guard. Either description is fitting for this terminal block since the defining feature is a thin, formed piece of metal (typically steel) which serves to protect or to guard the inserted conductor from the bottom of the screw. Here, wire termination is accomplished by first inserting a bare conductor into the wire entry area. Using a screw driver, turn the screw in a clockwise direction, the applied torque causes the screw to lower itself within the housing. The lowering of the screw causes the wire protector to compress down and traps the conductor between the wire protector and the bottom of the wire cage/terminal. To remove the conductor simply rotate the screw in a counter-clockwise direction to lower the wire. In contrast to the rising cage, this style of terminal block is generally intended for a limited (no more than a couple) of wire termination cycles. The wire acceptance range is also typically smaller than a rising cage style block, and is generally considered a best fit for lighter duty or commercial applications.
