Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH05K 007/02AbstractAn electrical assembly for a removable printed circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board is mounted on a plate and spaced from the plate. Electrical devices, particularly power devices, are mounted on the plate and electrically connected to the printed circuit board by a terminal providing for a flexible high current interface in the form of a deformable bridge interface connector which is inserted into the printed circuit board to provide a circuit connection to the power device. The deformable bridge interface connector is formed so as to permit three directional movement of the printed circuit board, a positive low resistance high current connection to the power devices and which can be disconnected by unscrewing screws connecting the bridge with a terminal post which is connected to the power device.Field of SearchWith terminal elementsClamps or clasps Screw or bayonet Termination post INSTRUMENT IN PANEL Having biased clip holding means SELF-COMMUTATED IMPULSE OR RELUCTANCE MOTORS PREFORMED PANEL CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT, E.G., PCB, ICM, DIP, CHIP, WAFER, ETC.
