Abstract
The invention provides a terminal bridging adapter for mounting at least one electrical component in electrical series circuit between each of a plurality of spaced rows of substantially colinear terminals wherein the electrical component has dimensions greater than the space between each of said spaced rows of terminals. This terminal bridging adapter comprises a housing constructed of insulative material and defining a connector portion including at least two open ended ports for receiving a like number of terminals therein. These ports are respectively disposed so as to be positionable in registry with a like number of terminals. A component portion also defined in the housing includes at least one component cavity for receiving at least one electrical component and is offset from said ports so as to be positionable offset to one side of the terminals. A connection cavity is also defined in the housing and communicates with the component cavity and with the two ports to receive leads of the electrical component therethrough so as to complete respective electrical circuits to each of said ports.
