ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a first casing member in which is a series of housings each adapted to receive a respective one of a plurality of male contact members each incorporating a tang. The connector further comprises a second casing member complementary to the first casing member in which are a series of housings each adapted to receive a respective female contact member each adapted to cooperate with the tang on a respective male contact member to make an electrical connection. The connector further comprises a plurality of connection channels each adapted to have a tang passed through it and a shunt module adapted to receive these electrical connection channels. The shunt module comprises an insulative material body and a series of passages adapted to coincide with respective housings of the first casing member and to receive a respective electrical connection channel. A skirt on one casing member is adapted to receive the shunt module. At least two of the electrical connection channels in the shunt module are electrically interconnected to make a shunt connection.
