Abstract
An improved connector assembly includes a resistor coated guide pin to facilitate coupling or decoupling a circuit card to a circuit board. A first embodiment of the pin configuration comprises a single taper pin for eliminating current surges during insertion of the pin into its associated plug. A second embodiment of the pin configuration comprises a dual taper pin having two zones of resistance for also eliminating the spark and associated high frequency noise resulting from pin insertion into or removal from the connector assembly.
