ABSTRACT:
A shunt assembly (20) adapted to be secured on a connector (22) or a shunt connector assembly (24) where the electrical connector (22) has a housing (26) with spaced contacts (62) secured therein. The contacts (62) have exposed contact portions along a side wall (32) of housing (26). A contact support lever (152) is pivotally mounted to housing (26). The contact support lever (152) has an inner surface (250) having interdigitated channels (254,256,258,260,262,264) has a pair of shunt contacts (156,158) received and secured therein for engaging a surface of the exposed contact portions of preselected ones of the spaced contacts (62). The contact support lever (152) is rotatable through a limited arc from a first position with the shunt contacts (156,158) engaging the spaced contacts (62), to a second position where the shunt contacts (156,158) are electrically isolated from the spaced contacts 62. A spring (154) provides a constant bias on the contact support lever (152) to bias the contact support lever (152) toward the first position.
