ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly includes first and second conductive probes, first and second conductive shields respectively enveloping the first and second probes in an insulated relationship and a cover insulatingly enveloping the shields. First and second barrels may be disposed within the cover at a first axial end of the cover. Third and fourth barrels may be disposed within the cover, at the opposite axial end of the cover in enveloping relationship to respective ones of the shields. An assembly including an impedance is insulatingly supported by the third and fourth barrels. An actuator assembly insulatingly supported by the first and second barrels has (a) a first operative relationship establishing electrical continuity between the probes and between the shields and (b) a second operative relationship interrupting such continuities and establishing a circuit including an individual one of the probes, the impedance and the corresponding one of the shields. The actuator assembly includes first and second actuators having a fixed and insulating relationship to each other. Each actuator is fixedly attached to the barrels at an intermediate position to define first and second resilient arms. The arms on each individual end of the actuators are constructed to engage the opposite ends of the impedance when the arms at that end are actuated to the second operative relationship, this occurring when a plug is inserted into a particular one of the first and second barrels. Insulators on the arms insulate the arms from the plug.
