The present invention relates to an electrical connector for a first IC, comprising a second IC () carrying ESD protection, the second IC () being integrated into the connector (), which enhances the ESD protection and preserves the RF performance of such connector (). The present invention further relates to a method for making an electrical connector () for a first IC, comprising this step of providing ESD protection to the first IC by integrating a second IC () carrying ESD-protection into the connector ().

ESD protection

An electronic circuit has an inductor. The inductor comprises a first number of electrically conductive tracks (, . . . ) in, or on, a substrate (). The tracks are separated from one another. The inductor comprises a second number of electrically conductive wires (, . . . ). The ends of each wire contacts two different ones of the tracks. Among the first number of tracks there is at least a specific track that is electrically isolated from the wires upon the wires having been connected. Such an inductor can be made using a standardized track configuration on a substrate, and selectively skipping one or more tracks in order to determine the inductance.
