Greetings,

You need to buy a matching circuit breaker panel or box. In these boxes
there are strips of buss bar and tabs that the circuit breaker hooks into
and snaps into place on. If you look at the loose circuit breakers you will
see metal fingers on the opposite side with the screw terminal.

You feed power to the buss bar in the breaker box and connect the load to
the individual breakers. Yuo must make sure to get breakers that are
compatible with the box itself. They all sort of fit into place until you
try to screw the cover into place. Home depot has the Siemens boxes and
breakers really cheap.
