Abstract
An electrical connector assembly comprising a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a mating portion and a shutter member that is mounted substantially adjacent to the mating portion. A first conductor is provided on the shutter member and a cam engagement member drives the shutter member between an open and a closed position. The second connector has an actuator with a cam. A second conductor is provided on the cam and contacts the first conductor to prevent electrostatic discharge when the cam engages the cam engagement member to drive the shutter member into an open position.
