Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A METHOD OF ESTABLISHING AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BETWEEN CIRCUIT COMPONENETS, WHICH INCLUDES THE STEPS OF FORMING ON AT LEAST ONE SURFACE OF A PANEL OF ELECTRICALLY INSULATING MATERIAL A PATTERN OF ADHERENT, EQUALLY SPACED STRAIGHT PARALLEL STRIPS OF ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL WHICH ARE ELECTRICALLY INSULATED FROM EACH OTHER, PIERCING THE PANEL WITH A MULTIPLICITY OF REGULARLY DISTRIBUTED HOLES ARRANGED IN A GRID PATTERN, SAID HOLES INTERSECTING EACH OF SAID STRIPS AT MULTIPLICITY OF EQUALLY SPACED POINTS, INSERTING TERMINALS OF SAID CIRCUIT COMPONENTS THROUGH DESIRED PAIRS OF SAID HOLES, THE HOLES IN EACH PAIR EXTENDING THROUGH DIFFERENT STRIPS, SOLDERING SAID TERMINALS TO SAID STRIPS TO ESTABLISH ELECTRICAL CONTACT BETWEEN SAID TERMINALS AND SAID STRIPS, LOCATING AT LEAST ONE HOLE POSITION DEFINING A PREDETERMINED CIRCUIT INTERRUPTION PATH IN SAID GRID PATTERN, CENTERING A CUTTING TOOL IN THE LAST SAID HOLE FOR PRECISELY LOCATING THE DESIRED AREA OF STRIP REMOVAL, AND SUPERFICIALLY REMOVING THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL FO THE STRIP ABOUT SAID HOLE FROM SAID PANEL WITH SAID CUTING TOOL TO BREAK THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN TERMINALS OF ADJOINING COMPONENTS AND THEREBY TO PROVIDE THE DESIRED ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BETWEEN SAID COMPONENTS.
