A connection scheme for a Programmable Logic Controller is taught. Briefly stated, a printed circuit board having a plurality of electrically conductive traces therein and a plurality of electrically conductive fingers associated with the conductive traces is disclosed. The pitch and size of the conductive fingers coincide with that of a PLC I/O connector. One or more of a plurality of interconnective devices may be connected to the printed circuit board thereby minimizing adverse thermal effects from adjacent thermocouple wires or providing for use of various interconnection devices or signal conditioning such as switches, displays, discrete devices and the like.
