ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has an insulative housing with an engagement portion provided with contacts. A shield member is mounted to an exterior of the insulative housing and is connected to a circuit board. Guide posts protrude from a surface of the insulative housing for facilitating engagement of the electrical connector with a mating connector. The guide posts have tips positioned further from the insulative housing than the engagement portion. Conductive members are arranged on the tips of the guide posts. The conductive members facilitate electrostatic discharge with the mating connector and have retention legs connected to the circuit board independently from the shield member.
