ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric body defining a number of passageways for receiving a number of contacts therein, a conductive shield cover enclosing the body, a dielectric housing enclosing the shield cover, and a conductive grounding member disposed between the shield cover and the dielectric housing for providing a grounding path therebetween and electrically contacting a conductive housing of an electrical instrument to which the electrical connector is fixed. A conductive resilient member is mounted on the body and forms latching mechanism for engaging with a mating connector thereby preventing the mating connector from disengagement and for providing a grounding path therethrough.
