TERMINAL BLOCK ASSEMBLY FOR MOUNTING A SWITCH OR OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The assembly includes a dielectric base hving molded structural portions for receiving and mounting q manually operated switch, and for receiving and mounting a plurality of electrical connection terminals that serve to connect lead wires to the switch contacts. The switch contacts and electromechanical switching mechanism are mounted in a preassembled switch body, from which a plurality of substantially rigid electrical connection prongs extend. The base includes a honeycomb-like cluster of terminal receiving recesses and a plurality of prong receiving apertures, one for each recess. The prong receiving apertures extend inwardly of the base from a surface thereof defining a recess for seating the body of the switch, with each aperture opening into a separate one of the terminal receiving recesses through an interior recess sidewall. The recesses, apertures and switch prongs are cooperatively formed and disposed so that the switch prongs are insertable through the apertures to protrude into the terminal receiving recesses when the switch body is seated on the base. An electrical connection terminal means is positionable in each terminal receiving recess for mechanically gripping and electrically contacting the prong that resides therein thereby securing the switch component to the base. These terminal means also serve to detachably connect a lead wire to the associated switch prong.
