1. A shunt device, used to be mated with a shunt socket of a connector configured on a circuit board so as to shunt electric current of the connector, the shunt device comprising:
an insulating housing having a bottom surface; and
a first electrical terminal fixed on the insulating housing, wherein the first electrical terminal has:
a first plate contact portion that is perpendicular to the bottom surface, for connecting at least one electrical terminal inside the shunt socket to shunt electric current; and
a first leg that extends from the first plate contact portion and has a flat portion for connecting to at least one cable, and the flat portion is perpendicular to the first plate contact portion.
