Patch Board or panels (electronics0

Years ago there used to be something called a patch board which by using inserting pins with diodes in them you could route a DC current to different locations. If you can imagine 2 pieces of veroboard set one behind the other and the strips at right angles to one another, then by inserting these pins you could connect any of the horizontal strips to any of the vertical strips. Someone must still be making them surely? I've searched but to no avail, plenty of RJ45 patches but not what I want. I've searched Patch boards, Patch panels, Patch pins, Patch diode pins etcDoes anyone know what they are called these days, and where can I get one.I'm building a vent controller for the new, not yet built conservatory it needs to control 6 vents and I need to build in the flexibility to select vents. I know there are different ways of doing it but I want to do it using one of these patch boards.CheersDon

Thanks and apologies to all for the multiple postings the OE went bananas and I couldn't stop it for some reason. Eventually had to unsubscribe from uk.d-i-y to stop it doing it. Ah well seems to be OK now I hope??

Cheers Don
