Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a mechanical assist slide or locking device movably attached thereto, and a second connector adapted to be mated to the first connector in a mating direction. The slide is adapted to bias the first connector between a fully mated state and a partially mated state. In the partially mated state, at least a first mating terminal pair of the first and second connectors are electrically disconnected from one another, while at least a second mating terminal pair of the first and second connectors remain electrically connected. In this way, by way of example, the connector assembly enables the disconnection or bypass of a detection circuit, while maintaining power and ground connections through the connector.
