ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a backplane connector with shorting contacts for providing re-routing of signals when a circuit pack is withdrawn from its shelf. Shorting contacts are mounted on a block which is attached to the inside of an insulating shroud surrounding the contact pins. The shorting contacts make electrical contact between pins when a circuit pack is removed, but are otherwise electrically isolated from the pins.
