A low profile switch having a receptacle assembly and a plug assembly mounted to surfaces which are movable with respect to each other. The receptacle assembly includes a housing with a defined recess into which extend a pair of contact members resiliently biased into engagement with each other. The plug assembly includes a housing having an elongated extension with a pair of contact members disposed on opposed sides thereof so that the extension can be moved into the recess of the receptacle assembly, separate the contact members of the receptacle assembly, and engage the contact member of the receptacle assembly with respective ones of the contact members of the plug assembly. Thus, when the receptacle and plug assemblies are unmated, the receptacle assembly provides a shunted circuit condition and when the receptacle and plug assemblies are mated, two circuit paths are established between the receptacle and plug assemblies.
