Abstract: An optimally interconnected matrix of endpoints involves one or more conductive lanes of a substrate to be incorporated within a housing, with a plurality of conductive blocks positioned transverse to the conductive lanes. Any number of endpoints can be connected to any end of the conductive blocks. The endpoints can be interconnected by activating individual depressible terminals of the conductive lanes. Each depressible terminal is positioned above a conductive block, and activating a depressible terminals allows an electrical contact to be established between the corresponding conductive lane and the corresponding conductive block. The depressible terminals can be activated by extending a conductive or nonconductive pin through individual apertures of the housing which are positioned over the depressible terminals.
