1. A terminal assembly for coupling a plurality of electrical loads to a source comprising:
- a circuit board defining a first section and a second section;
a first set of jumper contacts disposed on the first section of the circuit board and a second set of jumper contacts disposed on the second section of the circuit board;
a housing enclosing the circuit board;
a jumper access aperture defined by the housing and overlapping the first and second sections of the circuit board; and
at least one cover positioned on the jumper access aperture of the housing to selectively expose the first section of the circuit board and the second section of the circuit board.

Abstract
A terminal assembly that selectively couples multiple electrical loads in parallel or in series includes a circuit board that may be defined by a first section and a second section. A housing is disposed on the circuit board, and defines an access aperture overlapping multiple sets of jumpers attached to the first and second sections of the circuit board A cover is positioned on the access aperture to selectively expose the set of jumpers of the first section of the circuit board and the set of jumpers of the second section of the circuit board.
