Abstract
A support block has slots in the top and rear faces receiving bent terminal strips. Protrusions on the strips abut a forward or downwardly facing surface at the front of the top slot. Protrusions at the other end of the strips abut a downwardly facing surface at the bottom of the rear slot. A terminal tip extends forwardly, and a tang for soldering into a circuit board extends downwardly. Terminal strips without protrusions fit within slots in the bottom face of the support block.
