ABSTRACT:
A guide post assembly comprises a body member and a retaining member attached to the body member. The body has a coupling portion for engaging with a first connector and a cylindrical guiding portion for engaging with a second connector. The retaining member is stamped and rolled from a thin sheet of metal material to form a spring ferrule and a resilient expanded portion extending from the ferrule. The expanded portion forms a bulge projecting outwardly from a middle position thereof which resiliently abuts against an inner wall of a housing of the second connector to retain the guiding portion of the body member in the second connector. Thus, the first and second connectors are securely connected by the guide post assembly.
