An arrangement for providing protection to an electrical connector part (10) such as a plug having an exposed edge (13) of a printed circuit board (12). A resilient sleeve member (14) or "shield" is provided which surrounds the exposed part of the printed circuit board (13) and protects it when it is unconnected. On connection the resilient sleeve (14) crumples or folds back to allow the printed circuit board edge (13) to engage with the corresponding edge connector (31). The resilient sleeve (14) is preferably made from silicone rubber, but may be made slightly conductive by the addition of selected quantities of carbon, in order to provide anti-static properties. |
