Abstract
Ends of electrical cable are joined to corresponding self terminating, shielded connectors 1, each comprising, a conductive shell 2, a dielectric support 11 in the shell 2, a conductive switch contact 5, an electrical terminal 16 intimately connected to electrical equipment with the switch contact 5 carried by the dielectric support 11 for disconnect connection to an electrical contact inserted into the shielded connector 1, and an electrical circuit element 6 in contact with the shell 2 constructed for disconnect coupling with the switch contact 5 upon withdrawal of the electrical contact from the shielded connector 1, whereby the switch contact 5 is terminated electrically to the shell 2 through the circuit element 6.
