20090174982 | CONTROLLING THE FLOW OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CURRENTS - A method and system for controlling the electrical connection between the metallic covers and the underlying metal chassis of an electrical system by the select placement of impedances in a current control connector. The current control connector places an impedance, capable of controlling electrostatic discharge (ESD) currents, between the covers and the underlying chassis. The current control connector comprises a number of metallic and dielectric components. Each of these components is ideally chosen such that the structure and composition of each component contributes to an overall functionality of the current control connector and an ability to control the ESD current flow. The relative placement of the components of the current control connector allows the current control connector to eliminate current flow along a number of paths but control the current flow along a preferred path.
