ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a connector set which is provided with first and second connectors. The first connector itself is provided with a first housing, and first and second contacts which are at least partially captured within the first housing. The first connector further includes a resilient biasing member disposed within the first housing and normally maintaining the first and second contacts in spaced relation to each other. The second connector is provided with a second housing and a third contact which is at least partially captured within the second housing. The application of pressure to the first contact by the third contact in an amount sufficient to compress the biasing member results in the electrically conductive engagement between the first and second contacts and the electrical connection of the third contact to the second contact. The removal of such pressure from the first contact results in the resilient return of the biasing member to an uncompressed state which separates the first and second contacts from each other and breaks the electrical connection between the third and second contacts.
