ABSTRACT:
An interface device that includes a base having a body between top and bottom longitudinal flanges, a circuit board, and an interface unit including a first terminal block with a row of aligned terminals at a front of the block where the aligned terminals are electrically connected to a circuit board mounted on the base. The interface device includes an additional terminal block attached to a bottom of the base by a retainer. The retainer is constructed in the form of M-shaped members attached to a face of the additional terminal block, that clip into a longitudinal groove on the bottom of the base. The additional terminal block may be mounted such that terminals on the additional terminal block are parallel to terminals on the first terminal block and set back therefrom. The body of the base also includes a longitudinal slideway in which longitudinal edges of the printed circuit board are accommodated.
