Abstract
A shunt connector assembly for electrical systems comprises a body including a first, a second and a third coupling portion () for coupling to respective connectors. The contacts of the first and second coupling portions () are defined by the opposite ends of a first group of metal pins of circular section (R) received inside the body () of the connector assembly. The contacts of the third coupling portion () are defined by first ends of a second group of metal pins of circular section (R) arranged parallel to and spaced from the pins of the first group. Each pin of the first group (R) is electrically connected to a respective pin of the second group (R) by a metal bridging element in the form of a planar lamina extending substantially in the plane containing the axes of the pins connected by said bridging element and integrally incorporating at each end a bent back-portion defining a resiliently deformable open bushing that surrounds and clasps a respective metal pin (R, R).
