Abstract
A terminal housing assembly and terminal arrangement for a wire board, suitable for use with solderless mountable connector terminals. A terminal housing body has a base wall placed on a wire board at a wire connection terminal region of the board. The base wall has a channel grooved in its bottom surface for receiving base portions of a number of connector terminals on the wire board. The housing body has a row of terminal slots that open into the channel to receive wire connecting portions with the terminals, and the base portions of the terminals form shoulders that protrude a certain distance from the wire connecting portions. The housing body includes partitions between the terminal slots, wherein the partitions have bottom parts defining a base of the channel for confronting the shoulders of the terminals, and for restraining the terminals from being pulled out from terminal openings in the wire board while outside wires are being connected to and disconnected from the terminals.
