CONNECTOR DESIGN APPLICATION
When the connector pin of the device application printed circuit board (PCB) is connected or disconnected to
other PCBs, the power must be turned off to avoid device malfunction or failure. Furthermore, designing the
connector GND pin to be longer than other pins (as shown in Figure 23) is preferable. This arrangement allows
the GND line to either be connected first or disconnected last, which is imperative for proper device function.
