Abstract

An improved substrate for mounting electronic components including a plurality of uniformly spaced terminals on opposite sides along an edge of the substrate. The terminals comprise a contact having an outward bow, a narrowed transition section extending from the contact at an oblique angle from the longitudinal axis of the contact, and a tail bent at an angle, inserted through a first hole spaced from the edge of the substrate, bent at a second opposite angle along a side of the substrate, and inserted laterally in a second spaced hole by forming a U-shaped bend in the tail within the hole.
