A CONNECTOR

摘要

A connector for use with a cable having components susceptible to triboelectrically-induced intercomponent charge comprises a signal component; a compensating resistive network to sub­stantially equilibrate a plurality of triboelectrically-induced charges across the components; and a ground connect component for connecting the connector to ground prior to connection of the signal component. A process for manufacturing a connector for use with a cable having components susceptible to triboelectrically-induced intercomponent charge and comprises steps of: providing a signal component; providing a compensating resistive network to substantially equilibrate a plurality of triboelectrically-induced charges across the components; and providing a ground connect component for connecting the connector to ground prior to connection of the signal component.
