ABSTRACT:
An electrical plug connector for an electrical connector assembly comprises a dielectric housing having at least one cavity which extends inwardly from a mating face of the housing. An electrically conductive socket contact is disposed in the at least one cavity. The socket contact has a generally tubular shape with inner and outer surfaces and an end face which is disposed in a vicinity of the mating face. A first dielectric member is disposed on the socket contact and extends at least over the end face so as to shield the socket contact from inadvertent electrical engagement. For a socket contact of relatively large diameter, a second dielectric member having a post may be disposed centrally within the socket contact to prevent inadvertent engagement with the inner surface thereof.
