  • Antistatic electrical connector housing
    Patent number: 4146291
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for protecting sensitive electronic components housed within a portable electronic component against damage due to the discharge of accumulated static charges. The electrical connector components are electrically isolated and housed within an insulative receptacle having very low conducting properties within the portable electronic component. The coacting electrical connector components are housed in a similar insulative conductive housing. The insulative housings are dimensioned to require physical contact between the two for a preselected time interval effective to discharge any static charge.
