ABSTRACT:
An electrical apparatus (10) includes a circuit board (12) having an opening (40). A conductor terminal (30) is secured on an electrical conductor (20). An axis (116) of the conductor terminal (30) extends through the opening (40) in the circuit board (12). A first portion (112) of the conductor terminal (30) is located in the opening (40) in the circuit board (12). A second portion (114) of the conductor terminal (30) extends transverse to the axis (116) and is electrically connected to the circuit board (12). A portion of the circuit board (12) overlies a surface (122) on the second portion (114) of the conductor terminal (30) to block movement of the conductor terminal (30) in a direction parallel to the axis (116). A strain relief tab (140) on the conductor terminal (30) engages a surface (82) on a housing (14) to block movement of the conductor terminal relative to the circuit board (12) in a direction transverse to the axis (116).
