ABSTRACT:
An electrical junction block for an automotive vehicle comprises a housing containing a planar, multilayer busbar and a printed circuit board, the busbar and the printed circuit board being maintained in parallel and electrically insulated relationship to one another. A plurality of receptacles are formed on the exterior surfaces of the housing to receive mating electrical components such as fuses, relays, and wiring harness connectors. Electrical connection between the printed circuit board and the electrical components is via a plurality of printed circuit board connection terminals having first ends which make electrical contact with the face of the printed circuit board oriented toward the busbar and second ends which pass through holes in the busbar and then through apertures in the housing and into the receptacles. Each printed circuit board connection terminal comprises spacer plates which maintain the printed circuit board and the busbar a desired distance apart and a spring portion which makes electrical contact with the printed circuit board, deflecting slightly when the spacer plates are urged into contact with the printed circuit board.
