Abstract: A flexible, semirigid substrate, composed of a nonconducting material, supports a plurality of spaced, longitudinal conductors on one side thereof and a plurality of parallel, spaced, transverse conductors on the other side thereof. Through-hole connections are made through the substrate between selected longitudinal conductors and selected transverse conductors. The transverse conductors extend to a common edge of the substrate, which is formed with a longitudinal fold. The portion of each of the transverse conductors which extends over the longitudinal fold in the substrate is formed with an elongated opening which is disposed symmetrically about the axis of the transverse conductor. The longitudinal opening provides a saddle for receiving a portion of a terminal which rests in the saddle and can be subsequently soldered with the transverse conductor associated with the saddle.
