ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) has first and second separable contacting electrodes (12, 14) which do not generate an arc on making or breaking. A member (44) interrelates one of the electrodes (14) via a spring-loaded drive cap (24) at ground potential, which member 44 is constructed of a material a wide range of electrical resistance (e.g., insulator to substantial short) inversely response to the magnitude of electric field across the member. On electrode preparation, the drive cap (24) establishes a relative movement of the member (44) with respect to the electrode (14) reducing the member material thickness to such a point that the electric field across the intervening member material reduces the electrical resistance to a desired low level (e.g., short to ground).
