Abstract

A terminal module provides for attaching components to terminals of a terminal frame. The terminal module utilizes an integral printed circuit board having a component assembly potted within a rectangular plastic shell with the remaining portion of the printed circuit board protruding from the shell for use as electrical terminals and for physical attachment to screw terminal strips of the termination frame. The modules are suitably of a predetermined geometric configuration, and the potted component assembly portion is contoured to fit between respective ones of stacked terminal strips.
