ABSTRACT:
An electrical switching connector includes a dielectric housing defining a receptacle. A first switch terminal is mounted on the housing and includes a contact portion at the receptacle. A second switch terminal is mounted on the housing and includes a flexible contact portion projecting into the receptacle and engageable with the contact portion of the first switch terminal. Therefore, a terminal of a complementary mating connector can be inserted into the receptacle in engagement with the flexible contact portion and move that contact portion out of engagement with the contact portion of the first switch terminal. A pair of ground terminals are mounted on the housing and each ground terminal is juxtaposed alongside one of the switch terminals. In the exemplary embodiment of invention, at least portions of at least one of the switch terminals and one of the ground terminals are overmolded by the housing.
