Abstract
A miniature shunt connector has a shunt stamped with coplanar pairs of cantilever beams and inserted into a cavity of a low-profile housing which intersects a pair of post-receiving cavity portions. The adjacent inner shunt beams include downward projections which latch behind a latching aperture of the housing upon full shunt insertion, with the pairs of cantilever beams disposed along and on each side of centerlines of the post-receiving cavity portions and adapted to be deflected outwardly by respective terminal posts entering the shunt connector along the centerlines. The housings may be dimensioned and shaped for vertical and side-by-side stacking to shunt pairs of an array of terminal posts.
