Abstract:
1. A process for providing a charge path that dissipates an electrical charge during initial connection to an electrical device, the process comprising: coupling a first conductive member to a first electrical polarity component, the first polarity component configured to allow a flow of electrical charge to or from a second electrical polarity component when the first and second polarity components are electrically coupled and there is a charge differential between the first and second polarity components; electrically coupling a first resistive member to the first conductive member to form a first connector lead; electrically coupling the first connector lead, to a first mating connector lead electrically coupled to the second electrical polarity component to provide a first electrical connection between the first and second polarity components, the first electrical connection comprising a charge path passing through the first resistive member; and further inserting the first connector lead into the first mating connector lead to provide a second electrical connection between the first and second polarity components, the second electrical connection comprising a conductive path that at least partially bypasses the first resistive member.
