Abstract
A compact electronic component and contact retainer device for use with electrical wiring terminal blocks having a plurality of adjacently positioned elongated terminal means disposed in aligned successive rows. The device includes a two-piece dielectric housing designed to accept an electronic component associated with spaced contacts adapted to accept a pair of spaced terminals in a row falling in a common plane. The housing, in its interior, specifically provides integral means for orienting and complementary retention of the contacts and electronic component means connected thereto while the component and the outside of the housing includes indicia means for proper orientation of the device relative to the terminals to thereby insure the proper polarity or direction of current flow through the electronic component means contained therein.
