Abstract: The plastic toy building block is provided with electrical contacts to determine its position. The block has a basic body having recesses extending from top to bottom in its interior. In these are each inserted, combined into packets, several discrete elastically resilient conductor wires clamped between plastic strips. Elastically resilient conductor wires protrude downward into the recess. Contact points protrude from the plastic strips at the top. Several electrical cables are led from each nub to the underside of a nub plate to discrete contact points. Except for the nub surfaces, the nub plate can be covered by a cover plate and hereafter can be placed with the nub plate on the basic body of the toy building block. The lower contact points on the film then make electrical contact with the upper stubs and thus with contact points of the conductor wires.
