Abstract:
In an embodiment, a battery connector includes: power terminals configured to be coupled to a load having an input capacitance; power pins electrically coupled to the power terminals; a charge pin, the charge pin being longer than each of the power pins; and an antispark circuit electrically interposed between the charge pin and the power terminals, the antispark circuit including: a dissipation circuit configured to charge the input capacitance of the load in response to a battery being coupled to the charge pin; and a delay circuit configured to delay charging of the input capacitance of the load for a predetermined duration after the battery is coupled to the charge pin.
