Abstract:
1. A method of replacing a printed circuit board arranged within an interior of a housing of a distribution board connection module, the interior of the housing defining at least one shoulder against which a first end of the printed circuit board abuts, the method comprising: providing at least a first front part attached to the housing of the distribution board connection module by at least one screw that is held captive on the first front part, each front part also holding at least one connecting strip having insulation-displacement terminal contacts at a first end and fork contacts at a second end, the insulation-displacement terminal contacts being electrically connected to the fork contacts, which are force-fit around the printed circuit board arranged within the housing; detaching the first front part from the housing by unfastening the captive screw from the housing, thereby pulling the fork contacts of the connection strip in a direction away from the printed circuit board; raising the first end of the printed circuit board above the shoulder defined by the housing; pulling the printed circuit board out of the housing; and arranging a second printed circuit board within the housing.
