ABSTRACT:
A circuit programming means for establishing a desired circuit pattern selected from a variety of circuit options comprises a circuit board having a plurality of side-by-side circuit board conductors thereon. A conductive connector clip is mounted on the circuit board in straddling relationship to the conductors and has contact springs extending therefrom which are in alignment with the conductors. A removable insulating program control means is positioned between a number of the springs and their associated circuit board conductors, the insulating means having openings so that at least two of the contact springs are in electrical contact with their associated conductors. The selected circuit pattern can be changed by merely moving the program control means and inserting a different program control means to commonly connect those conductors which will produce the desired circuit option.
