ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic discharge protected integrated circuit module is disclosed in which an integrated circuit is attached to a flexible circuit board inside a receptacle. Spring action forces the traces of the flexible circuit board against a conducting surface in the receptacle, shorting the traces so that the potential at all contact leads of the integrated circuit will rise uniformly in the event of an electrostatic discharge. A plug connector may be inserted through an opening in the receptacle to interrupt the shorting and to connect the integrated circuit to an electronic device. Protection is restored automatically when the plug connector is withdrawn.
