ABSTRACT:
A connector is disclosed which includes a plurality of leads and a conductive plate. The plate includes a number of bores extending through it. The leads are spaced apart the walls of the bores. A quantum mechanical tunneling material is placed between the leads and the walls of the bores in order to support the leads. This configuration serves to connect the leads to the plate by quantum mechanical tunneling when the voltage between the leads and the plate exceeds a predetermined voltage.
