Abstract:
A terminal module for coupling between a motor for a remotely controlled mirror in a vehicle and a printed circuit board, comprising:an elongated dielectric housing defining a longitudinal axis extending between opposite ends of the housing and the housing having opposite open sides extending generally parallel to said axis,one opposite end of the housing having a universal joint for coupling to the mirror motor and allowing relative universal movement between the mirror motor and the housing and the other opposite end of the housing being open,a slot extending into the housing generally parallel to said axis from said open end thereof for embracing an edge of said printed circuit board inserted into the slot; anda conductive terminal mounted onto the housing through one of the open sides of the housing generally parallel to the slot, the terminal having a contact portion extending into the slot for engaging an appropriate circuit trace on the printed circuit board.
