ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly having means for protecting its contacts from adverse voltage surges includes protectively terminating one terminal of a silicon diode within a notch formed in the contact and the other terminal with a conductive sleeve encircling the contact body but spaced therefrom. The conductive sleeve is in releasable engagement with a plurality of conductive spring fingers which are integral with a conductive grounding plate whereby a ground path is established between the connector shell and the contact without stressing the diode or its terminations.
