A connector assembly is provided wherein a circuit is provided between two connector housings, such as two header connector housings, adapted to connect to two mating connector housings, such as two mating harness connector housings. Such circuit is provided by a power shunt contact that may be provided as a single piece of contact material which includes two contact lengths, which extend into respective header connector housings, and a bridging shunt segment extending therebetween.

Connector assembly and power shunt contact

A combing device for 90 degree axial rotation of a pair of adjacent cable conductors from an original axial orientation. The device comprises a profiled conductor manipulating channel adapted having an upper outwardly flared surface extending the longitudinal length of one sidewall defining the channel. A tapered cut is formed into the flared surface from one end of the channel, and is of decreasing depth therealong, terminating at a point on the flared sidewall surface. Upon simultaneously addressing two parallel and adjacent conductors into the channel at a suitable angle thereto, and drawing the conductors toward the opposite end of the channel while decreasing the angle therebetween, one conductor freely enters the channel, and the other conductor, after having been momentarily deterred by engagement against the tapered cut, rolls into the channel atop the first conductor.
