Abstract
Abstract Wire routing guides are used on circuit boards employing solder pads plated onto the reverse side of an insulative board in an orthogonal array and connected to aligned conductive areas on the obverse side by plated-through holes. The wire routing guides, having upstanding fingers, are mounted on the reverse side of the board with conductive pins from electrical components extending through the holes in the board from the obverse side to the reverse side. Insulated wire is threaded around the wire routing guides and pins of the electrical components and guided in accordance with a predetermined pattern of component interconnections. For interconnections between points on the board, wire is threaded substantially orthogonally.
