ABSTRACT:
An assembly for mounting terminal array connectors to a surface. The assembly includes a generally planar bracket having a first surface and a second surface. A plurality of apertures are formed through the bracket, wherein the apertures include wire apertures, screw apertures and anchor apertures. One or two wire connectors are affixed to the bracket, wherein each side of the bracket is capable of supporting one wire connector. At least one spacer is disposed between the bracket and each wire connector that it supports. The spacers prevent each wire connector from contacting bracket and shorting against the material of the bracket. The wire connectors and spacers are affixed to the bracket by at least one mechanical fastener. The mechanical fasteners extend through the screw apertures in the bracket and the spacers, wherein the mechanical fasteners engage the body of the wire connector being mounted.
