Terminal strips, what am I looking for?

[d000hg]

I'm struggling to fit all the earths into the terminal on my wall-mounted mains sockets, which have an earth to the metal box as well as 3 others - in and two outs.

I thought I remembered a little terminal strip which acted like a mini junction box so I could stick in 4 wires and they'd all be joined. I bought this off Amazon thinking it looked familiar from my dad doing something similar but it turns out each bit is isolated, for simply joining two wires: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CONNECTOR-STRIP-15AMP-jointing-cables/dp/B003ZU0EWQ

Is this from ScrewFix the same: http://www.screwfix.com/p/15a-terminal-strips-pack-of-10/91532#

If so does what I want exist under a different name or am I just confusing two separate things?

It's not usually too much of a problem, but ....

As you say, they are both the same, with isolated 'bits'. You could use just one 'bit' (cut it off), and put the several wires into it (e.g. 2 in each side).

If so does what I want exist under a different name or am I just confusing two separate things?

The only common connectors I know which actually join together several separately inserted conductors (which I think is what you were asking for) are Wago connectors (click here).

Kind Regards, John
