Abstract

A circuit board having a multiway connector disposed along one edge thereof. The multiway connector includes a plurality of contacts. Earth path contacts of the connector are offset in relation to the remaining contacts so as to be the first to make connection with the corresponding connector upon insertion of the board into the connector and conversely the last to break connection upon extraction of the board from the corresponding connector.
