ABSTRACT:
A system for removing electrical charges from a memory card when the card is electrically coupled to a header connector of an electronic apparatus. The header connector has a plurality of pin terminals mounted therein, including a plurality of pin signal terminals. The memory card includes a circuit substrate, and an elongate receptacle mounted at an edge of the substrate. A plurality of receptacle terminals are mounted within the receptacle, and include receptacle signal terminals which are adapted for electrical connection to corresponding pin signal terminals. A pair of cover plates sandwich the circuit substrate therebetween. At least a portion of one of the cover plates is conductive. The receptacle terminals includes at least one receptacle ground terminal substantially the same length as the other of the receptacle terminals and coupled to the conductive portion of the one cover plate. A pin ground terminal is provided on the header connector of the electronic apparatus and is longer in length than the pin signal terminals. The receptacle ground terminal and the pin ground terminal are therefore adapted for interconnection to remove electrical charges from the memory card prior to interconnection of the receptacle signal terminals and the pin signal terminals.
