Abstract
A female electrical connector for use in a separable connector assembly is provided. The female electrical connector includes an elongate insulative body and a female contact disposed within the body. The female electrical connector also includes a tubular support sleeve extending between a first end and a second end. The first end of the tubular support sleeve is connected to the female contact. The tubular support sleeve defines a cavity at the second end. The female electrical connector further includes an insulating coupling connected to the second end of the tubular support sleeve. The insulating coupling includes an insulating sleeve that is moveable between a retracted position, where the insulating sleeve is retracted within the cavity of the tubular support sleeve, and an extended position, where the insulating sleeve extends outward from the cavity and away from the second end of the tubular support sleeve.
