Abstract

Abstract A first fundamental electrical element array which has a plurality of columnar, fundamental electrical elements with opposite wire leads, and in which the fundamental electrical elements are electrically and mechanically connected at one wire lead to a conductive bar at predetermined intervals so that they lie side by side in a common plane, and in which the other wire leads of the fundamental electrical elements serve as terminals for connection with a printed-circuit board. A second fundamental electrical element array which has a plurality of columnar, fundamental electrical elements with opposite wire leads and at least one lead wire, and in which the fundamental electrical elements are electrically and mechanically connected at one wire lead to a conductive bar at predetermined intervals together with the lead wire so that they lie side by side in a common plane, and in which the other wire leads of the fundamental electrical elements serve as terminals for connection with a printed-circuit board. A third fundamental electrical element array which has a plurality of columnar, fundamental electrical elements with opposite wire leads and at least one columnar, short-circuiting means with opposite wire leads, and in which the fundamental electrical elements and the short-circuiting means are electrically and mechanically connected at one wire lead to a conductive bar at predetermined intervals so that they lie side by side in a common plane, and in which the other wire leads of the fundamental electrical elements serve as terminals for connection with a printed-circuit board. A plurality of such first fundamental electrical element arrays are mechanically coupled together so that they are aligned side by side in a common plane. At least one such first fundamental electrical element array and at least one such second or third fundamental electrical array are mechanically coupled together so that they are aligned side by side in a common plane.
