Electrical connector with ESD protection

摘要

An electrical connector assembly includes a conductive shell and a connector having a dielectric housing disposed within the shell. The housing includes a conductive outer surface. A conductive member is disposed between the shell and the housing. The conductive member and the shell cooperate to provide a ground path from the conductive outer surface of the housing. The conductive outer surface of the connector housing comprises a conductive coating applied to the outer surface of the housing. The conductive member includes a plurality of flexible tabs that electrically engage the conductive outer surface of the housing.
