1) The "standard" type that "everyone" seems to make - see
PhoenixTerminalBlock.JPG; objection here is that the wire is held down
by a screw clamp.
2) The closest to what i am looking for is similar to the garden variety
wall outlet where the wire is pushed in and held by a spring-loaded
clamp (slot available to release the clamp).

What i am looking for is similar to the Phoenix, but the wire clamp
mechanism is like a lever; lift up, then push in stripped wire, then
push down to clamp; it seems to latch in that position as it is damn
near impossible to lift enough to release the wire.

Suggestions?


I had some like that, with a 2 position lever, I think by "WAGO"

Damn! Found Wago, saw their DIN-type blocks, but no drawings or
close-up pics for detail.

Maybe something like this

A bit long link, but it goes WAGO online catalog.

Have fun :-)

Attached is a close-up of the connector system in question.
The Wago is close, but no cigar; i have indicated in the picture,
the locking levers which are similar to the Wago.
The Wago levers seem to stick out a lot and it would appear that they
would still stick out even when closed down; also that one could
un-connect as needed.
Did not find useful drawings of their scheme.

The levers in this sprinkler controller system*, as you can see, are
reasonably flush when closed - and they do not seem to lift very far.
Hard to tell as i did not want to break one in an attempt to
disconnect & release the wire (which is why i used the description of
"locking").
