ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for use when a first connector is to be mated to a second connector that includes shorting contacts and is being supplied with a plurality of active signals such that the breaking of the electrical connection between the shorting contacts themselves is substantially delayed until the time of making of the electrical connection between the shorting contacts and at least one corresponding conductive terminal of the first connector. Such a delay permits electrical separation of the shorting contacts only at the instant when at least one of the shorting contacts will begin to contact its corresponding conductive terminal without substantially impairing any other characteristics of the connector. This delay is established by employing a first connector which reduces or eliminates altogether any insulating material that passes between the shorting contacts as the first connector is inserted into the second connector prior to the shorting contacts establishing electrical conductivity with at least one of their corresponding conductors.
