Abstract
An apparatus operable to interface an electronic component with a signal input. The apparatus may generally include a low-ohm resistor and a voltage translator coupled with the low-ohm resistor. The low-ohm resistor is operable to couple with the input to receive an input signal therefrom. The voltage translator is operable to couple with the electronic component and translate the input signal from a first voltage to a second voltage for use by the electronic component. The low-ohm resistor and voltage translator may be positioned by a pick and place assembly machine such that embodiments of the present invention do not require a technician to manually couple and solder the apparatus to the input and electronic component.
