Abstract
A connector for testing shunted electrical terminal assemblies includes a selectively actuatable shunt displacement member for moving a terminal shunt between a shunted and unshunted position in response to a control signal. The connector allows for the testing of shunted circuits and connectors in a shunted and unshunted position. The connector is readily adaptable to systems for automated testing of airbag actuators and the like.
