ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) having a body (20), a switch assembly (30) for slideable disposition in the body (20), and discriminators (60,70,80) for terminating large and/or small gauge wires. The switch subassembly includes a conventional dummy-load test circuit. Insulation displacement contacts (40,50) are disposed in the body and in the discriminators (60,70 80) for termination with the wires. The switch assembly (20) is slidably disposed within the body (20) in a sealed cavity (27), and contacts (32) of the subassembly slidably but electrically interface with contacts (40,50), the switch assembly (20) is thereby suspended in the cavity and its motion is guided along contacts (40,50) which act as tracks as the switch assembly is displaced between normal and test mode positions.
