Abstract
An electrical connector assembly is disclosed in which the receptacle coments are shielded by an electromagnetic radiation mask and in which no power is present at the front end of the receptacle when the receptacle is not connected to its mating electrical plug. Intermediate electrical contacts in the receptacle portion of the connector assembly completely close apertures in the mask when the receptacle is not mated and are moved from the mask apertures and into contact with the internal electrical conductors of the receptacle when engaged with the male electrical plug portion of the assembly.
