ABSTRACT:
A shorting bar assembly is mounted in an electrical connector housing so as to selectively short at least pairs of terminals thereof. Each shorting bar assembly has at least one shorting bar member having at least two integral depending tines extending at an angle with respect to a body of the shorting bar and to the longitudinal axis of an associated terminal. In an unmated condition of the connector the free end of the respective terminal engages the shorting bar tine in a loaded condition. During mating or unmating of the connector, the resilient portion of the terminal is deflected so as to cause a relative wiping movement between the free end of the terminal and the tine of the shorting bar moving between loaded and unloaded conditions.
