This separable electrical connector module comprises a piston upon which the gas generated during a fault-close operation acts to drive the bore contact of the module toward a mating rod contact, thereby facilitating fault-closing. The module further comprises a conductive tubular container having angularly-spaced keyribs on its bore. The piston is mounted within this bore and includes a tubular portion divided into a plurality of angularly-spaced segments that are biased radially-outwardly against the container bore in angularly-spaced locations between the keyribs. A split annular metal spring is located radially inwardly of the segments and has resilience normally tending to expand the spring in diameter and provide said radially-outwardly acting bias on the segments.
