Abstract
A programmable multi-digit register loads plural bits of fixed binary information, represented by a pattern of short or open circuit connections, onto a printed electronic circuit board or the like. A modular, plural-bit generally trapazoidal shaped metallic blank is formed having first and second facing legs connected by links in one-to-one correspondence with the bits-per-module. One leg is scored at each link, and each leg has tabs insertable in circuit board apertures. In use, each register module is bent and soldered in place in a circuit board via the tabs, and one end of each link isolated by cutting through the score lines. The individual binary digits are then programmed into the module by selectively severing the links.
