A support is provided in a watthour meter socket adapter housing for supporting a circuit board in a non-interferingly manner with the electrical contacts mounted in the housing. In one aspect, slots are formed in posts in the housing and receive opposed ends of the circuit board. Alternately, opposed pairs of support posts extend from the base of the housing and receive opposed ends of a circuit board. An end support post having an outwardly projecting, downwardly inclined top surface provides a snap connection of the circuit board to the housing. Alternately, the support includes legs carrying conductive elements formed on the circuit board and extending through apertures in the base of the housing for electrical connection external of the socket adapter. In another aspect, a circuit board is provided with contacts along one edge which form spring jaws for receiving a terminal. A conductive tab is mounted on the circuit board and resiliently contacts one contact in the housing to complete an electrical circuit between the housing contact and a circuit or electrical component carried on the circuit board.
