Abstract
There is provided a configurable electronic circuit board which comprises a board including many modular sockets in a minimum unit each having a size and the number of pins both standardized, the modular sockets being arranged regularly parallely and connected to each other at terminals thereof through simple wirings, a pin adapter composed of adapter pins insertable into the modular socket, of an adapter socket into which electronic circuit parts are insertable, and of socket wirings for making connection between the adapter socket and the adapter pins, a switching station adapter composed of adapter pins insertable into the modular socket, and of a wiring changeover switch and a fuse for determining the connection of wiring among the adapter pins, and a bypass adapter being inserted into a modular socket not used, and composed of adapter pins insertable into the modular socket, and of fixed wiring for simply bypass-connecting among the adapter pins, whereby an arbitrary circuit is realizable by inserting each adapter or electronic circuit part into an arbitrary modular socket. The configurable electronic circuit board is used to realize and verify a designed circuit.
