Abstract:
An electrical component with two conductive leads and two conductive wires are held within a housing. Each lead is inserted into a housing hole to make electrical contact with a wire conductor. Multiple additional electrical components (which may or may not be LEOs) can be held in similar housings attached their own pairs of wires. A PCB assembly can be attached to hold one or more such assemblies. A resilient PCB housing holds a PCB by an interference fit while conductive wires are inserted into its wire cavity so that exposed portions of conductive wires make electrical contact with electrical traces of the PCB which is biased by wire insulation. Two conductors can be held by the PCB housing which are forced into electrical contact with the PCB when it is inserted into the resilient PCB housing which then biases such contacts.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board (500a-d) is disclosed. The printed circuit board comprises a substrate (200) having a top surface (202) and a bottom surface (203). A ground plane (228) is on the bottom surface. A signal trace (212c) is on the top surface along a first direction. At least two isolated power planes (208,210) are on the top surface adjacent to opposite sides of the signal trace, respectively. A conductive connection (330) along a second direction couples to the two power planes, across the signal trace without electrically connecting to the signal trace, wherein the signal trace doesn't directly pass over any split of the ground plane.
