Abstract
An apparatus for suppressing power bus bouncing in a hot-swappable system has been developed. The apparatus includes a connection module with three interior pins for: the power return; the power supply; and the system ground. The system ground pin is shorter than the other two so that it makes contact with the power bus after the bouncing from the return and supply pins has subsided.
