Apparatus and method for forming a switchboard unit circuit
First Claim
1. A unit circuit intermediate assembly used for forming a desired one of a plurality of design of switchboard unit circuits, comprising:
- a unit housing;
functional components of the unit circuits; and
a wiring board device;
wherein at least some of said functional components and said wiring board are disposed in said unit housing; and
wherein said wiring board device comprises;
a board;
a wiring formed on the board;
board connectors connected to the wiring and for permitting selective connection of said functional components to form said plurality of designs of unit circuits; and
component connectors for removably connecting to said board connectors and for selectively connecting different parts of a desired functional component to different respective board connectors to form said plurality of designs of unit circuits.

Abstract
A switchboard unit circuit having functional components, such as relays and switches is formed using a wiring board device including a board, a wiring, e.g., a printed wiring, on the board, and board connectors connected to the wiring and provided to permit selective connection of the functional components to selectively form any one of a plurality of designs of unit circuits. The functional components and the wiring board device are disposed in or on a unit housing, and the board connectors are selectively connected to the functional components to selectively form a desired one of said plurality of designs of unit circuits.
