ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal board comprises a plurality of modules having contacts which clamp the individual modules to adjacent modules as well as position them with respect to one another. The modules are secured together preferably by a dovetail arrangement wherein a dovetail slot on each side of the contacts mates with a corresponding protrusion on the individual molded plastic modules. Each module comprises a base having a wall extending upwardly from one surface thereof at substantially the mid-point of the base with the wall having dovetail protrusions extending outwardly on each side thereof at an intermediate point. The contacts may include a variety of configurations such as a tubular or flat structure having a mating dovetail protrusion on the module wall securing the adjacent modules together. The module spacing may be varied merely by employing contacts of different widths. The modules, as grouped together by the fastening and clamping contacts, do not require channels to form a terminal board and do not require specifically designed end sections.
