ABSTRACT:
A shunt connector 20 is disclosed for use in a system 30 including a mother board 32 having a plurality of electrical connectors 46 connected in series thereon for electrical interconnection with an array of daughter boards 62 wherein at least one of the mother board connectors 46 is not interconnected to a respective daughter board. Shunt connector 20 comprises a dielectric housing member 22 adapted to be mated with a mother board connector 46 and a plurality of shunt terminal members 28 secured in housing member 22. The shunt terminal members 28 are selectively shaped and selectively positioned in housing member 22 to correspond to open circuits desired to be closed in the art least one unmated mother board connector 46. Upon inserting the shunt connector 20 to the unmated mother board connector 46, open circuits are closed by said shunt terminal members 28, thus allowing signals to be transmitted between adjacent daughter boards 62 and through the system 30.
