ABSTRACT:
A short circuit spring for an electrical connector, such as a plug-in connector, has a flat leaf spring section and a curved leaf spring section. A first hole in the flat section fits snugly in a contact making manner around an electrical terminal while a second hole in the flat section is large enough to permit a second terminal to pass through without contact. The curved section forms a tongue bent back to contact the second terminal with a tongue edge when the connector is not plugged together with a second connector to maintain a short circuit and to interrupt the short circuit when the connectors are plugged together.
