Abstract
For a removable device such as a USB pen drive, two components are relatively moveable with each other by sliding, rotating, or rolling over. When a second component moves with respect to a first component, the clearance between the two components ensures durability of the removable device. As the second component moves to and is configured at an extended position, a first biasing element on the first component abuts and pushed a second biasing element on the second component so that ground nodes of the second component contact with a conductive section of the first component. The ground path way is then established for ESD protection. As the second component moves out of the extend position, the connection between the ground nodes and the conductive section no longer exists and the clearance between the two components exists again.
