Abstract

In an electrical commoning arrangement including a printed circuit board with at least two parallel rows of conductive pins mounted therein, a removeable shunt connector for electrically commoning two pins is disclosed. The shunt connector includes a terminal defining at least three colinear pin receiving portions whereby the shunt connector can be selectively mated with two adjacent pins of the same row, or with two corresponding pins of different rows.
