Body
Digi-Klips, manufactured by Components Corp., are U-shaped wire devices, that aid for compact packaging of electrical and electronic devices. These mechanisms were first developed at Goddard as wire connectors in spacecraft. They serve as connectors linking circuitry of one circuit board with another in multiboard systems. They are made of beryllium copper wire, noted for its excellent conductivity, and its springlike properties which assure solid electrical contact over a long period of time.

Abstract
Digi-Klips, manufactured by Components Corp., are U-shaped wire devices, that aid for compact packaging of electrical and electronic devices. These mechanisms were first developed at Goddard as wire connectors in spacecraft. They serve as connectors linking circuitry of one circuit board with another in multiboard systems. They are made of beryllium copper wire, noted for its excellent conductivity, and its springlike properties which assure solid electrical contact over a long period of time.
