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.

Abstract: An identification device for a printed circuit board, having a plurality of wirewrap terminals, includes a base portion and a plurality of flexibly mounted, raised identification projections. The base portion has provision therein for securing the device to spaced-apart rows of generally parallel terminals. When the device is in place, the flexible mounting arrangement for the identification projections permits ready access by a wirewrap tool.

Abstract: A tool for extracting an integrated circuit package from a circuit board is disclosed. The tool has provision for converting a user applied compressive force into two components. One component actuates apparatus for grasping the underside of the circuit package while the other component produces a nearly uniform perpendicular force on apparatus which straddles the circuit package to effect the extraction.
