A mounting assembly for providing bus termination of a signal line on a printed circuit board (PCB). The mounting assembly includes a connector arrangement, a bus termination device, pressure plate and a clamping mechanism. The bus termination device is received by the connector arrangement, such that electrical interface elements of the bus termination device engage electrical interface elements of the connector arrangement to provide electrical communication between the connector arrangement and the signal line of the PCB. The clamping mechanism is engageable with the bus termination device for maintaining electrical contact between the electrical interface elements for securing the connector arrangement and bus termination device to the PCB. The pressure plate member is interposed between the clamping mechanism and the bus termination board. The pressure plate member protects resistor packages on the bus termination device from damage as a result of clamping forces imparted by the clamping mechanism to the bus termination board through the pressure plate member. The pressure plate member defines a plurality of resistor package pockets for receiving the resistor packages to prevent the clamping forces from being imparted to the resistor packages.
