Abstract

The terminal block of the present invention provides both a simple high strength mechanical connection with a circuit board as well as a good electrical connection. The terminal block has a snapfit with a side edge of the circuit board due to a cooperation between pins of the terminal block and holes through the circuit board. The terminal block simplifies assembly and improves the mechanical connection of the terminal block with the circuit board.
