Don, I am aware of only one difference - Spacing. It is considered that larger spacing between connections are needed for field terminals to allow for, shall we say, potentially lesser controlled installation circumstances practices. Factory wiring is usually performed in accordance with a

Don - There are additional details beyond the following, but in essence, there are pull-out and wire retention tests that are done for field wiring purposes that may or may not have been done for factory wiring purposes. Field wiring terminal blocks are subjected to the full range of tests

In general, for field wiring terminals per EN60950: * must accept a range of conductors sizes normally expected to be used * use screws or nuts - no solder, crimping or special terminal on conductor (unless a special power cord assembly is being replaced) * the screw or nut
