What are Snap Circuits?
Snap Circuits are electrical and electronic components mounted on colorful plastic shapes. Each colorful shape has a metal snap at key connecting points of the electrical and electronic component. The electrical and electronic component provides the specific function for the Snap Circuits part.
Therefore, a Snap Circuits part can be described as a functional block based on an electrical and electronic component mounted onto a plastic base. Figure 4.1 shows some example Snap Circuits blocks:
Figure 4.1 – Snap Circuits blocks
The Snap Circuits block designated by the number 2 is a wire block. You connect Snap Circuits blocks using this component. There are various types of wire blocks based on length. For example, there are wire blocks with lengths of 3, 4, and 5. The 1-wire snap is packaged into a plastic circle. You will use this snap component to provide an electrical stand-off to structurally align the other Snap Circuits...
