Lightweight terminal board

Sandwich construction for terminal boards reduces fabrication time and produces thinner boards with better insulation consistency, better apperance, and less weight. New method also permits closer spacing of terminal posts. Method starts with thin (0.031 inch) sheet of polyimide and consists of drilling, inserting terminal posts, upsetting ends, and then bonding second sheet to upset side as continuous insulation member. Resulting sandwich is lighter and much cheaper than single board.
