ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided for being connected to a printed circuit board and mounting thereto a high current device, such as a MOSFET, so that high current conducted through the device does not pass through circuit paths on the circuit board. The connector includes a housing having first and second ports formed therein. A plurality of first electrical conductors are mounted in the housing. Each of the first conductors has a first end extending into one of the first and second ports and a second end extending out from the housing to the printed circuit board for being connected to a circuit path on the board. A plurality of second electrical conductors are also mounted in the housing. Each of the second conductors has a first end extending into the first port and a second end extending into the second port. The connector further includes a plurality of device conductors which are mounted in the housing. Each of the device conductors has a first end extending into one of the first and second ports and a second end extending from the housing. The second end of each of the device conductors is connected to a respective lead pin of the high current device so that high current conducted through the current device does not pass through circuit paths on the board.
