Abstract
Disclosed is a slipping connector assembly built in a microwave oven. Connected to the output terminals of a temperature sensing probe that detects temperature of food being cooked on a turntable of a microwave oven. This slipping connector assembly is provided with mobile contacts that are connected to the output terminals of the probe and stationary contacts that come into contact with the mobile contacts, while the contact points between the mobile and stationary contacts are completely shielded by a shielding case. Since the contact points between the mobile and stationary contacts are completely shielded by the shielding case, the contact points are perfectly free from oil and impurities, thus resulting in improved performance reliability of the entire mechanism of the slipping connector assembly.
