ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) comprises an insulative housing (2) with a mating portion (23), a plurality of conductive contacts (4) located in the mating portion and a conductive shielding member (3) encircling the insulative housing. The housing includes a base portion (21) and a pair of guide posts (24) extending from the base portion along a mating direction. Each guide post extends beyond the mating portion. The shielding member includes a substantially rectangular plate (30), a frame (31) extending from the plate for completely encircling the mating portion of the housing and contacting portions (32) corresponding to the guide posts and extending beyond the mating portion for partially surrounding the guide posts. When the electrical connector is mating with a complementary connector, the contacting portion (32) electrically contacts with a conductive member arranged in the complementary connector to cause electrostatic discharge before electrical engagement of the conductive contacts. Thus, the electrostatic discharge may hardly affect the function of the conductive contacts.
