ABSTRACT:
Female contacts are fixedly held in insertion channels formed in a body of a connector socket. A conductive plate is disposed on a front face of the body in contact therewith. In the conductive plate are formed small holes of a diameter slightly greater than that of conductive pins of a plug, in opposing relation to the insertion holes. The conductive plate has an integral grounding terminal. The arrangement is such that, when the plug pins are inserted into the holes of the conductive plate, as the plug pins are being inserted into the female contacts of the socket, any electrostatic charge on the pins is discharged to ground via the conductive plate and grounding terminal rather than being discharged from the pins to the socket contacts.
