Patent ID: 7144255

Claim:
A quick connect circuit electronic system, comprising: interconnectable electronic components for forming an electronic circuit: a base comprising a non-conductive base portion and an array of snap-fitting non-conductive male connectors extending upwardly from said base being mounted on the base portion; a set of modules, each of said modules comprising non-conductive module portion with substantially planar face portions and snap-fitting female electronically conductive connectors connected to said module portion, a plurality of electronically conductive male connectors extending outwardly from and connected to one of said face portions of said module and the snap-fitting female electronically conductive connectors electronically connected to said electronically conductive male connectors on a face portion opposite to one of the face portions of said module, said snap-fitting female electronically conductive connectors being complementary to said male connectors of said base to snap-fittingly receive and matingly engage the male connectors of said base to releasably secure, interlockingly couple and mechanically attach said modules to said base, and said snap-fitting female electronically conductive connectors being complementary to other male connectors of other modules to snap-fittingly receive and matingly engage the other male connectors of said other modules to releasably secure, interlockingly couple, mechanically attach and electronically connect said modules to each other; said electronic components being mounted on said modules and electronically connected to said electronically conductive male connectors; and at least one of said modules comprising component-receiving connectors securely mounted on said modules for snap-fittingly receiving and releasably engaging at least one of said electronic components to provide a solderless electronic connection thereto.
