Structure usable in an assembly including a circuit component, as for example, a light unit, having a base and terminal or terminals projecting endwise from the base, comprises: (a) a body having at least one end portion adapted to provide support for the base of the light unit, (b) the body defining a cavity or cavities, and there being contact structure in the latter for removable endwise reception of the component terminal or terminals to establish electrical contact therewith when the base of the component is supported by the body end portion, (c) and an auxiliary terminal or terminals carried by the body and projecting exteriorly therefrom for reception by a circuit board or for surface attachment to the board, thereby to mount the body and component on the circuit board, the auxiliary terminal or terminals having electrical connection with the contact structure. The method of forming such an assembly is an additional feature of this invention.
