ABSTRACT:
An electrical double plug and socket connector includes a socket component, a plug component and a short-circuit bridge. Each of the socket and plug components includes an insulating material housing. Metallic contacts are arranged in the socket component housing, and associated metallic connecting elements are arranged in the plug component housing. The plug component housing bounds a receiving space located between the connecting elements. The short-circuit bridge includes a U-shaped spring accommodated in the receiving space but having two arms which project axially out of the receiving space toward associated insulating material lugs of the socket component housing to such an extent that the connecting elements project beyond the arms by more than the distance by which the lugs extend beyond the contacts. The arms have respective contact webs which respectively extend toward and resiliently contact associated inwardly facing surface portions of the connecting elements in an inoperative position of the components, so that the short-circuit bridge provides a short-circuit connection between the connecting elements, and actuating portions which respectively extend into the path of movement of the lugs toward an operative position, so that the contact webs are resiliently moved away from the connecting elements and the short-circuit connection is interrupted.
