Abstract A modular electrical system comprising a basic unit consisting of an insulative block having two parallel rows of electrical receptacle holes with spring contacts therein terminating in a loop on one end and a contact on the other side of the insulative block, the loop side preferably extending above the block, the insulative block having a conductive coating forming a shield on five sides thereof, the receptacle holes carrying the spring loop contacts being adapted and dimensioned for receiving dual-in-line packaged electrical component leads with a cover thereover for depressing the loop portion of the spring contacts creating a higher pressure contact between the spring and the component which results in a low resistance connection between the component leads and the other end of the spring contact via a conductive coating on the receptacle hole wall and the spring contact itself, the cover in a multimodular system can be a printed circuit board having conductive portions contacting the top of the spring loop; a heat sink disposed between the components and a power bus running between the two rows of receptacle holes; a pair of collars extending from one surface of the insulated block being dimensioned for a press fit within an aperture of a mounting plate or board.
A modular electrical system comprising: an insulative block having at least two parallel rows of electrical receptacle holes therethrough for receiving and electrically coupling plug contacts therein and a plurality of mounting holes, said insulative block having a complete conductive coating fOr shielding on at least one side thereof; and a conductive voltage bus strip on said block, said conductive voltage bus strip being disposed between two of said at least two rows of electrical receptacle holes, said conductive voltage bus strip terminating on at least one end around one of said mounting holes.
