  • Patent number: 4269470
    Abstract: An electrical terminal board comprises a plurality of modules having contacts which clamp the individual modules to adjacent modules as well as position them with respect to one another. The modules are secured together preferably by a dovetail arrangement wherein a dovetail slot on each side of the contacts mates with a corresponding protrusion on the individual molded plastic modules. Each module comprises a base having a wall extending upwardly from one surface thereof at substantially the mid-point of the base with the wall having dovetail protrusions extending outwardly on each side thereof at an intermediate point. The contacts may include a variety of configurations such as a tubular or flat structure having a mating dovetail protrusion on the module wall securing the adjacent modules together. The module spacing may be varied merely by employing contacts of different widths.
