Abstract
The disclosure relates to mateable electrical connector block for connecting or disconnecting plural electrical signal lines one at a time when the blocks are mated together or uncoupled as the case may be; with sequent connections being separated from each other a maximum distance across the connector blocks thereby eliminating arcing over between such connections as they are being made or disconnected. The connector blocks further include means for automatically disconnecting residual high voltage from the contacts when the connector blocks are uncoupled from each other and the high voltage carrying contacts become dangerously exposed thereby.
