ABSTRACT:
A shorting contact for an electrical system has a first circuit body having at least one shorting spring and a second circuit body having at least one shorting spring. The circuit bodies are mounted adjacent and opposite one another internally in a plug housing so that the shorting springs may contact one another to form an electrical connection. The respective circuit bodies are each in electrical connection with respective socket contacts. A header to be mated to the plug housing has a rib formed thereon. When the header is mated to the plug housing the rib extends through a slot in a spacer between the header and the plug housing and the rib contacts the shorting springs and separates the shorting springs to open the electrical circuit.
