ABSTRACT:
A shielded cable connector comprises a dielectric housing receiving a plurality of contacts therein, an inner shell module consisting of upper and lower shells for enclosing the housing and the contacts, and an outer shield module consisting of upper and lower shields for enclosing the housing and the inner shell module. The housing forms a mating portion for receiving the contacts. The lower shell of the inner shell module forms a guiding portion extending beyond the mating portion. A vertical plate perpendicularly extends outward from the guiding portion. A pair of V-shaped resilient grounding arms outwardly projects from the vertical plate to contact a metallic mating interface panel of an electronic instrument when the cable connector engages with a mating connector fixed to the panel. Thus, the grounding arms dissipate electrostatic charges accumulated on the cable connector and the cable before the cable connector engages with a mating connector mounted in the electronic instrument. Each grounding arm comprises a connecting section extending from the vertical plate, an outwardly projecting contacting section extending from the connecting section for contacting the mating interface panel of the electronic instrument, and an inwardly bent free end for allowing the grounding arm to deflect until substantially lying in the same plane as the vertical plate when the cable connector contacts the mating interface panel.
