Spanish term
regletas para conectar la acometida
Spanish to English
Other
I'm having fun with this one! From what I've seen in the Proz glossary, "regletas" are multiple connectors, and "acometida" is connection. So how would the sentence go?
"Multiple connectors to connect the connections" would obviously give the poor technicians a laugh, but doesn't sound too good!
Any ideas out there?
Many thanks in advance,
Paul

to make the connections
How about "multiple connectors to make the connections"?

junction
You could refer to the acometida as a junction instead of a connection. Junction implies where the parts "connect" or meet.

terminal block for connecting the drop wire
In this way it doesn´t sound funny to an engineer. I suppose it applies to a box realated to telephonic drop.
If it is for power drop (acometida de poetecia) it may be: "terminal block for feeder cable"

Do you think that the use of this word would provide you with an alternative to 'connections'?
