Claim 0:
1. An electrical unit, comprising:
a circuit board;
a plurality of first terminals having respective first tabs and respective first mating portions, the first tabs substantially perpendicular to the first mating portions and fixed to the circuit board;
a plurality of second terminals having respective second tabs and respective second mating portions, the second tabs substantially perpendicular to the second mating portions and fixed to the circuit board;
a plurality of third terminals including a first male terminal and a second male terminal; and
a terminal housing disposed over the plurality of first terminals and the plurality of second terminals, and connected to the circuit board;
wherein the first male terminal is disposed at least partially in a first one of the plurality of first terminals and includes a first male terminal first portion and a first male terminal second portion;
the second male terminal is disposed at least partially in a first one of the plurality of second terminals and includes a second male terminal first portion and a second male terminal second portion;
at least two of the second tabs are offset from at least two of the first tabs in a first offset direction and a second offset direction;
the first male terminal first portion and the second male terminal first portion are offset in the two offset directions; and
the first male terminal second portion and the second male terminal second portion are substantially aligned in two alignment directions such that the first male terminal and the second male terminal convert a staggered configuration of the plurality of first terminals and the plurality of second terminals to a parallel configuration.
