A contact 10, which can be easily made in small sizes, has a contacting section 12 with a double curvature bend 18,20 at one end, and a termination section 16 at the other end. A main body section 14 is between the contacting section 12 and the termination section 16 which has protrusions 28a and 28b located near the contacting section 12 and on the opposite side of it. These protrusions 28a and 28b form a gap between the main body section 14 and the housing wall of a connector housing, thus increasing the springiness of the contacting section 12 as compared to other contacts of the same size.

An electrical connector and guide bush therefor wherein the guide bush is mounted upon the front of the electrical connector into an aperture in the front face and wherein a shield is mounted onto the front face. The guide bush receives therein a guide pin from a mating electronic component. The guide bush includes an integral body having a head portion and a tail portion. The tail portion may be retainably inserted into the aperture in the front face. The head portion has a bore therein for receiving the guide pin from the mating electronic component. At least one resilient contact member protrudes into the bore for contacting the guide pin of the mating component when the guide pin is received in the bush. The contact established thereby creates a ground circuit therethrough.
