ABSTRACT:
An electrical harness interface system including a circuit board (either id or flexible) having one or more electronic modules adapted to be removably secured thereto with each of the modules having a plurality of connectors. An input/output connector and a matrix connector are also provided on the circuit board. The circuit board further includes a plurality of electrical conductors (or traces) interconnecting the electronic modules, the matrix connector, and the input/output connector. The system permits one or more of the electronic modules to be removed and to be replaced with another electronic module having a different electrical function (or logic) and requiring a different electrical connection to the conductors in the circuit board and/or to the input/output connector. This system comprises a plurality of spare connectors for each of the electronic modules and a plurality of spare electrical conductors in the circuit board. A replacement matrix connector is provided having a different connection arrangement therein whereby upon replacing one or more of the electrical modules and, upon removing the original matrix connector, and, upon installing the replacement matrix connector, the other electronic modules may be readily electrically connected to any of the modules or to the input/output connector via the conductors, spare connectors, spare conductors, and replacement matrix connector.
