Abstract
A terminal board assembly for a multi-voltage device. The terminal board assembly includes a terminal board including a terminal block. The terminal board is configured for attachment to the multi-voltage device. The terminal block is configured to electrically couple with an electrical power source and the multi-voltage device. The assembly also includes a plug that is configured for insertion within the terminal block. The terminal block is configured to receive the plug in at least one of a first inserted position and a second inserted position. The orientation of the plug relative to the terminal block is the same in the first inserted position as in the second inserted position. The terminal block is configured to transfer a first voltage to the multi-voltage device when the plug is attached to the terminal block in the first inserted position. The terminal block is configured to transfer a second voltage to the multi-voltage device when the plug is attached to the terminal block in the second inserted position.
