ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes a connector which, in use, is connected to a shore cable. The shore cable provides power to a vehicle. A connection in the apparatus to the vehicle's starting circuit actuates an ejector mechanism when the vehicle's engine is started. The ejector mechanism ejects the shore cable from the apparatus and a switch interrupts the current prior to the completion of the ejection action, thereby preventing arcing at the connector and assuring long contact life.
