ABSTRACT:
A rigidizing cover plate for a printed circuit board mounted terminal block eliminating the instability of a 110D terminal block when it is mounted on the printed circuit board. The cover plate is a one piece injection molded polycarbonate plate that can be color coordinated to augment the existing 110D terminal blocks. The cover plate is formed with a plurality of apertures to enable the craftsperson to access the 110D terminal blocks that are mounted on the printed circuit board. The apertures formed in the cover plate contact the base of the corresponding 110D terminal block and provide lateral support for the terminal block to prevent movement of the terminal block with respect to the printed circuit board. The cover plate, when secured to the printed circuit board, functions not only as a stabilizer, but also as a protective shroud for the printed wiring board traces. The cover plate can be attached to a corresponding cover plate located on the back side of the printed circuit board, which additional cover plate functions as a stand-off for the printed wiring board sub-assembly. The cover plate can also be used for additional product labeling.
