Abstract: A cable connector of the present invention comprises an insulative housing, a number of conductive contacts, a pair of positioning levers and an insulative shell. The insulative housing has a mating face on a front end for mating with a mating connector and receives a mating portion of the conductive contacts therein. A metal shield is fitted to the front end of the insulative housing, thereby enclosing the mating portion of the conductive contacts. The pair of the positioning levers extends through respective holes defined in opposite sides of the insulative housing and each defines a retaining portion which extends beyond the mating face of the insulative housing for securely engaging with a mating connector. The insulative shell encloses the retaining portions of the pair of the positioning levers and the metal shield, thereby guarding electronic components near the cable connector from accidental electrostatic discharge.
