摘要 |
An electrostatic discharge protection device is disclosed for use with a semiconductor chip package where the electrostatic discharge protection device establishes an electrical connection between connector pins on the semiconductor chip package and ground thereby creating a short circuit to protect the semiconductor chip package from electrostatic discharge. The electrostatic discharge protection device is manually operable to engage or disengage and also automatically withdraws the shorting connection upon insertion of the semiconductor chip package onto a printed circuit board or into a mating receptacle.
