Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an insulative body defining a number of passageways therein, a shield enclosing the body, a number of contacts received in corresponding passageways, and a polyswitch for preventing excessive current from damaging the connector. One of the contacts consists of first and second contact members. The first contact member is adapted for mating with a mating contact of a complementary connector and the second contact member is adapted for being soldered to a circuit board. The polyswitch is retained in a cavity formed in the insulative body and is securely sandwiched between the first and second contact members.
