ABSTRACT:
A shunt connector provides for electrical connection of a pair of adjacent terminal pins inserted into a housing. A spring contact having a convex bowed body portion extends into a cavity in the housing where the pins are inserted. The terminal pins are inserted into the housing along an axis which is substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the spring contact. The spring contact is resilient such that the body engages the terminal pins and pressure engagement is maintained between the spring body and the pins which ensures that a proper electrical connection is made. The spring contact comprises a conducting material such that the pins are shorted upon contacting the spring.
