Abstract
A circuit assembly comprises a planar substrate 10 supporting, on a surface 11, connectors 14 and modules 12, each module having leads 13 extending from two opposing module surfaces, with the leads from one surface extending exclusively in one or two planes parallel to the module-bearing substrate surface, and with the leads from the other surface extending exclusively in the other such plane, the connectors each having an electrical insulating block 15 comprising two separable parts stacked one on the other, and rigidly secured to the substrate, and with connector pieces 17 secured to the block, such that there is facilitated, possible, at least partial, protection of connections between the module leads and the connector pieces, by the connections being on, or within, or adjacent to the block, before the module and the block are supported on the substrate.
