Abstract
A circuit device for connection to contacts located near each other in a row of first contacts in a recess or recesses of electrical apparatus along a first contact axis, the device including a printed circuit board carrying electronic components, and a connecting member attached to and extending from the board and sized to be received in and supported by the recess or recesses with the board oriented transversely to the first contact axis. Second contacts are supported by the member and include contact areas spaced from each other along the first contact axis for mating with corresponding first contacts, whereby the device is connected to corresponding first contacts without blocking access to other first contacts.
