Abstract
A card edge connector having a housing, an electromagnetic shield, and a voltage drain contact directly fixedly attached to the shield. The voltage drain contact has a contact area located above the top of a center section of the housing. Electrical contact is made between the voltage drain contact and a voltage drain pad on a daughter board before the daughter board makes electrical contact with signal contacts in the housing. This avoids undesired surges of current.
