About Your Snap Circuits

Parts

(Part designs are subject to change without notice).

The base grid is a plat-

form for mounting

parts and wires. It

functions like the

printed circuit boards

used in most elec-

tronic products, or

like how the walls are

used for mounting the electrical wiring in your

home.

BASE GRID

The blue

snap wires

are wires used to con-

nect

components.

They are used to trans-

port electricity and do not af-

fect circuit performance. They

come in different lengths to allow orderly

arrangement of connections on the base grid.

The red and black

jumper

wires

make flexible con-

nections for times

when using the snap wires

would be difficult. They also

are used to make connections off the base grid.
Wires transport electricity just like pipes are used

to transport water. The colorful plastic coating

protects them and prevents electricity from get-

ting in or out.

The

batteries (B3)

produce an electrical

voltage

using a chemical reaction. This “voltage” can be

thought of as electrical pressure, pushing elec-

tricity through a circuit just like a pump pushes

water through pipes. This voltage is much lower

and much safer than that used in your house

wiring. Using more batteries increases the “pres-

sure”, therefore, more electricity flows.

The funny marking on the battery holder is the

standard battery symbol used in electrical wiring

diagrams. These wiring diagrams are called

schematics

, and are used in everything from

house wiring to complex radios.

SWITCHES

The

slide & press switches (S1 & S2)

connect

(pressed or “ON”) or disconnect (not pressed or

“OFF”) the wires in a circuit. When ON they have

no effect on circuit performance. Switches turn

on electricity just like a faucet turns on water from

a pipe.

Reed Switch (S9)

The

reed switch (S9)

is an electrical switch that

can be controlled by a magnet. It has two metal

contacts close together. The magnetic field from

the magnet makes the contacts come together,

completing a circuit just like other switches do.

The

switcher (S6)

is a more complex switch used

to reverse the wires to a component or circuit. See

project 2 for an example of connections.

Switcher (S6)

Its symbol & connections look like this:
