ABSTRACT:
A socket connector having improved protection against electrostatic discharges. The body of the connector is encircled by a conductive shell and contains a plurality of female contacts for receiving respective pins of a pin connector. The surface of the body facing the pin connector is coated with conductive material which is coupled to the conductive shell through a conductive stripe on the body and a resilient conductive member contacting both the stripe and the shell. Charge reaching the conductive material from the pin connector is led harmlessly to ground from the shell.
