ABSTRACT:
A high density electrical connector comprised of a block of insulative material having a plurality of electrical contacts for providing plural electrical connections and an electrical conductor for providing electrostatic discharge protection for the electrical contacts mounted thereto. The electrical conductor is positioned forward of the electrical contacts relative to the leading edge of the insulative material, thereby protecting the electrical contacts from electrostatic discharges. In alternate embodiments of the invention, the electrical connector may be a plug type electrical connector with the electrical conductor mounted on the leading edge of the projecting blades or may be a receptacle type electrical connector with the electrical conductor mounted to the leading edge of the insulative insert.
