<p>A shorting bar assembly (52) is mounted in an electrical connector housing (16) so as to selectively short at least pairs of terminals (32) thereof. Each shorting bar assembly (52) has at least one shorting bar member (60, 62) having at least two integral depending tines (68, 70 or 72, 74) extending at an angle with respect to a body (64, 66) of the shorting bar and to the longitudinal axis of an associated terminal (32). In an unmated condition of the connector (10) the free end (50) of the respective terminal (32) engages the shorting bar tine (68, 70, 72, 74) in a loaded condition. During mating or unmating of the connector(10), the resilient portion (48) of the terminal (32) is deflected so as to cause a relative wiping movement between the free ends (50) of the terminal (32) and the tine (68, 70, 72, 74) of the shorting bar (52) moving between loaded and unloaded conditions</p> |
