Abstract
An electronic register in an electric energy meter includes a power supply transformer mounted on and through the register circuit board which is positioned between the base of the meter and the register indicator. Shrouds isolate and insulate the connections within the shrouds to the primary winding of the transformer, and positioning members are provided to secure the transformer to the circuit board while at the same time providing positioning for the secondary winding terminal pins which pass through the circuit board to enable their proper connection, such as by soldering, to the circuit board. A unitary molded bobbin provides a spool for the transformer windings and core, the positioning members, the shrouds, and securing of the secondary winding terminal pins.
