Connector having guide bush with enhanced ground contact

摘要

An electrical connector (1) and guide bush (3) therefor wherein the guide bush is mounted upon the front face (7) of the electrical connector into an aperture in the front face and wherein a shield (7a) is mounted onto the front face. The guide bush receives therein a guide pin (4) from a mating electronic component (2). The guide bush includes an integral body having a head portion (14) and a tail portion (12). The tail portion may be retainably inserted into the aperture in the front face. The head portion has a bore (13) therein for receiving the guide pin from the mating electronic component. At least one resilient contact member (7) protrudes into the bore for contacting the guide pin of the mating component when the guide pin is received in the bush. The contact established thereby creates a ground circuit therethrough.
