Abstract
An insulating housing has a circuit board mounted on its interior with separate conductive tab end portions of the board protruding outwardly through apertures in the housing. The tab portions have printed thereon conductive parts which connect with selected printed points or components on the board within the housing. Each tab has a hole for a screw in its conductive part so that when a wire is wound around the screw and the screw is tightened, good low-ohmic contact with a designated part of the board is made and the tab is positionally fixed to the housing. Slots between the tabs permit each screw binding post to be electrically insulated from its adjacent post by the interposition of integrally molded perpendicular barriers in the slots.
