ABSTRACT:
The terminal assembly of this invention has a terminal carrier comprised of a series of integral, same-shape structures whose shape forms a series of widthwise protuberances, arranged at a predetermined pitch, which constitute the respective longitudinal sides of the terminal carrier. A series of contact terminals extend from either side of each of the protuberances along one longitudinal side of the terminal carrier such that they are supported in the widthwise direction and by a pitch determined by that of the protuberances. Lozenge-shaped through holes are formed in the center of each of the same-shape structures at the point of intersection between an imaginary latitudinal and longitudinal axis. The individual same-shape structures and the terminal carrier as a whole are symmetrical with respect to these axes. Those protuberances constituting that side of the terminal carrier from which the terminals extend are the first protuberances, while those that constitute the carrier's opposite side are the second protuberances.
