Abstract
A power distribution module utilizes a planar substrate having an array of repeating slots configured to accept two types of relays, one having four terminals and the other having five terminals. Both relays can mate with the slots of the substrate in a variety of orientations, including reverse orientations wherein the relay terminal footprint can be rotated 180 degrees and still mate with a corresponding, yet shifted, slot footprint.
