Title:
Data/logic connector
Abstract:
An improved electrical connector is disclosed having electrical and/or electronic components contained immediately within the connector itself. The subject connector is able to meet multiple requirements of carrying data from closely spaced pin arrays in racks of electronic equipment to outside related equipment while providing a logic interconnect capability inside the connector itself. An embodiment of the connector also includes switching means whereby individual pins and/or lines of the data can be effectively connected and/or disconnected without modifying the shape or loading of the connector itself.
