<p>A card edge connector having spring contacts (14, 30, 32) that are partially movable by insertion of a circuit board (2) into the connector. The contacts include two contacts (30, 32) that electrically contact each other when a circuit board is not connected to the connector. The two contacts are moved by insertion of a circuit board into the connector which results in disconnection of the electrical contact between the two contacts. This allows a signal contact to be contacted and grounded by a ground contact while the connector is not in use and, nonetheless allows independent ground and signal functions of the two contacts when a circuit board is connected to the connector. <IMAGE></p> |
