ABSTRACT:
A grounding mechanism for an electrical connector having a metal generally U-shaped spring contact mounted on a cylindrical rubber or neoprene connector body which is connected directly to the internal ground contact within the connector body. Resilient tips on the body act to bias the free ends of the spring contact outwardly. The free ends of the spring contact stay in contact with a rotatable collar mounted over the body due to the compressed nature of the pre-formed metal spring contact, as well as the radially outward force of the resilient connector body tips acting on the free ends of the spring contact.
