Abstract
A switch means is disclosed which enables two or more terminals normally having a wide operating voltage to be connected by a pass transistor. A biasing means applies a voltage to the gate of the pass transistor which turns on the pass transistor without forward biasing any inherent diodes within the pass transistor.
