Wiring Block
bdsjake:
pardon the dumb electronic question, but is a "wiring block" the same as a "terminal block" or terminal strip? Found something at digikey.com called terminal block. Want I want, eg, is to be able to connect serveral grounds together, with one jumper to ground on ipac or power supply, thanks.

Did some research and I am almost positive they are one in the same...need a guru to confirm it though. Radioshack.com also has some.

i just finshed my first cab and cp from scratch. the wiring is really straightfoward so dont sweat it.
assuming your using an IPAC (why wouldnt ya?) then try this:
go to the shack, buy some terminal blocks, make sure you get the jumpers for the blocks. install the jumpers in the blocks and run a wire jumper from each block to the next. this creates on central continueous point to make all your common side connections to, rather than having to daisy chain the common side of each micro switch together. once you have all the commons nice and neat to the terminal strips you run one off the terminal to the ipac ground
then
wire one lead from each nornally open lead to the correct termination the ipac and your all set
im a complete noob and i got it right the 1st time.

What exactly are the jumpers for?
Valence:
The jumpers are for the terminal block. You have to jumper the terminals together. They look like a little solid thin piece of metal with two holes at the end for the screw.
