1. A circuit board assembly for enclosure in an electrical connection box in a vehicle, comprising:

  • a first plurality of lateral wires substantially parallel to each other, a second plurality of longitudinal wires substantially parallel to each other, said first plurality of lateral wires layered on and substantially perpendicular to said second plurality of longitudinal wires whereby said lateral wires and said longitudinal wires intersect and are welded to each other to make electrical connections therebetween at intersection points, to form a conductive material, said conductive material attached to an upper surface of a planar insulative plate by holding ribs, sections of said conductive material not needed for a circuit being cut away, and solderless terminals fixed to said lateral wires and said longitudinal wires at predetermined positions, wherein said solderless terminals comprise terminal plates and jumper terminals, said terminal plates having a tab at one end, and connection blades at another end, said jumper terminals having solderless connection blades at both ends, said solderless terminals forming solderless electrical connections at said predetermined points, said solderless terminals being inserted from one or both sides of said insulative plate, and said tab arranged to project into a terminal opening of an adjacent connection box for connection to electrical elements of external circuits.
