Abstract
A quick connect wiring system for breadboard circuit applications includes a circuit board having a plurality of apertures therethrough. A number of electrically conductive connectors, each comprised of a hollow cylindrical shaft having a pair of insulation penetrating quick connect contacts emanating from one end thereof, are inserted into the apertures in the board. Opposite ends of each of the connectors have integral therewith oppositely directed spring members for engaging integrated circuit package terminals. Insulative members partially surround the connectors to provide conductor support, to improve the electrical isolation among the termination points, and to reduce exposure of the termination points to environmental contamination.
