ABSTRACT:
Electrical connector receptacle of the type used in the telecommunications industry comprise a one-piece molded housing having a plug-receiving end and a plug-receiving opening. A plurality of side-by-side conductors mounted in the housing have contact spring portions which extend into the plug receiving opening. Free ends of the contact springs are provided in recesses which are provided proximate the plug receiving opening. As the spring contacts are moved between a first position and a second position, the configuration of respective recesses causes the free ends of the contact springs to engage and disengage each other as required, thereby providing the shunting required for operation.
