ABSTRACT:
Electrically insulative boots for substantially covering conductive connector housings and, in particular, conductive connector housings with a plug skirt and/or a receptacle skirt. The boots include a first electrically insulative shield connected to a second electrically insulative shield. The first shields include first and second plug flaps and/or first and second receptacle flaps. The flaps cover the plug skirt and/or a receptacle skirt when not connected to a mating connector assembly. The receptacle flaps are cammed away from the receptacle skirt by the plug flaps of a mating connector assembly allowing the plug skirt and receptacle skirt of mating connector assemblies to be adjacent to one another while the extractor of such mated connector assemblies remain electrically insulated.
