Abstract
Electrical connector assembly comprising a male and a female connector, each having a group of electrical contacts. The bore formed in the female connector to accommodate the male connector is sealed by a slidable shuttle and is filled with a dielectric liquid when the male connector is not inserted. The shuttle is subjected to a force which tends to keep it in sealing position, and is pushed towards the interior of the bore against the action of said force when the male connector is inserted. The shuttle and the end of the male connector are arranged so that the insertion of the latter brings about a positive connection between the two. This connection remains effective during withdrawal of the male connector, until the shuttle reaches its sealing position.
