  • a rectangular groove or slot 3S extending approximately half-way through the block from its front surface, asbest shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, and running :between the rows and intersecting the passageways to define four approximately equally spaced edges 40, provides a communi-eating opening between each passageway pair.
  • Edges 40 together with a registered one of .apertures A12 of plate 18 and a pair of opposed metallic contact lingers 42 and 44 projecting into slot 38 and depending from contact inserts 46 and 48 received in passageways 34 and 36 respectively, define in effect a socket 50 vadapted to receive a contact pin 114 in shortcircuiting engagement with fingers 42 and 44.
  • the bottom 52 of slot 38 advantageously provides a stop for the socket in limitation of pin insertion.
  • Apertures 12 thus are arrayed in rows in registry with slot 38 and centered relative to the associated set of spaced edges 40 which advantageously closely correspond in position to points on the periphery of aperture 12.
  • Edges 40 where pins 1'4 and apertures 12 are circular in cross-section but differ-ing in diameter to the extent required for tolerance purposes and ease of pin insertion, may thus serve ⁇ as elongated bearing surfaces severely limiting pin wobble while assuring -that opposed segments of the pin enter the passageways, FIGURE 3, forcefully to depress contact fingers 42 and 44 as will be explained. In this connection, edges 40 may closely approach the spacing necessary for snugly receiving pin 14 by virtue of the prealigning action of aperture 12.
  • Pins 14' preferably comprise a metallic cylinder having a sleeve or coating 54 of suitable insulating material covering at least that portion to be gripped during manipulation and left projecting from the pin board after insertion.
  • FIGURE 6 there is shown one form the contact inserts may take although it will be understood that any contact arrangement, preferably releasably ⁇ set in the .hou-sing blocks 16, which achieves reliable electrical continuity upon insertion of a pin will suice.
  • the contact inserts of each opposed pair are of similar construction and capable of being mass-produced by conventional stamping techniques.
  • the contact generally designated at 56 is formed from a suitable sheet met-al stock, such as a tin or gold-plated brass of spring quali-ty, and comprises an elongated, generally rectangular -base or shank portion 58 from the forward Y end of which extends a longitudinally bowed leaf spring reversely bent back upon but angled away from base 58 and terminating in a shoe 62.
  • Portion 64 extending from the other end of base 58 provides the means by which the lead wires 2 and 4 are connected to insert 56, and advantageously comprises .a pair of opposed ears arranged to be crimped onto the bared end of a lead wire in a manner described in detail in U.S. Patent No.
  • An ⁇ additional pair of ears 66 may similarly embrace an insulated portion n of a lead wire for further support as desired. It will be -noted that one or more lead wires, two such being shown in FIGURE 6, may be connected in the connecting portion 64 of any given contact insert according to its function ⁇ and .position in the wiring arrangement at the rear face 6 of the pin board.
  • Insert 56 is slidably receivable in either one of the passageway pair 34 or 36 from rear face 6 until side stop wings 68 projecting outwardly from between ears 64 and 66 abut a rearwardly facing stopI shoulder 70 in the passageway as best shown in FIGURE 2.
  • a resilient tang 72 struck down from base 5S snaps behind a forwardly fac-ing passageway stop shoulder 74, a channel '76 leading from the ⁇ front surface 78 of ythe block affording yaccess by a thin blade, not shown, [for prying tang 72 out of engagement from stop 74 when it is desired to withdraw -t-he insert from the block.
  • a pair of side flanges 80l on base 58 closely titted in height and width to side channels 82 on the passageways assure an accurate ⁇ and stable location of leaf spring 60 while providing strengthening ribs for the insert.
  • leaf spring 60 is biased away from base 58 and arranged so that when the pair of inserts 46 and 48 are .set in passageways 34'y and 36, contact ngers 42 and 44 normally project, as indicated by the dotted lines in FIGURE 2, from opposite sides into-slot 38 with a spring bias suflicient to -achieve good contact pressure with a pin 14 slid therebetween, the iingers being resiliently depressed .against the 4spring bias by the pin in operation as shown.
  • Shoes 62 are positioned, FIGURE 2, to engage the opposed sidewalls of the passageways positivelyto prevent the opposed lingers from contacting each other when the pin is withdrawn.
  • rl ⁇ wo or more pins may be connected, as shown in FIG- URE 1, by jumper wire 87, or may be the terminal of external leads 87a for increased llexibility in the system.
  • the pin board may easily be constructed to accommodate any desired number of switch points or cross-connecting leads as desired.
