ABSTRACT:
A novel male connector for an electrical connector assembly comprises an elastic housing which includes a recess for receiving the end of a female connector. When the male and female connectors are connected, a cavity is formed between the female connector and the recess of the male connector. Along the length of the recess, a rigid member is provided in the male connector which prevents the recess from stretching substantially when the male connector is disconnected from the female connector. Because the recess is prevented from stretching, the air pressure in the cavity between the male connector and the female connector remains relatively high during disconnection. The dielectric strength of the air in the cavity, which is a function of pressure, also remains high, so that the possibility of flashover is substantially eliminated.
