Abstract

Electrical connectors and assemblies may include a housing and a contact member therein. The contact member includes electrical contacts. A contact barrier is connected to the housing and movable between a closed state and an open state. In the open state, the contact member is exposed and, in the closed state, the contact member is protected by the contact barrier. The contact barrier is biased into the closed state. Electrical connectors and assemblies may include a housing with a core assembly having at least one electrical contact. A rotatable coupling member is rotatably attached to an end of the housing and includes a coupling housing, at least one latching element coupled to an inner surface of the coupling housing, and at least one center biasing element configured to bias and self-center the rotatable coupling member relative to the housing into a ready-to-connect orientation.
