Abstract

The invention relates to a switch connector for electrical conductors which allows at least two electrical conductors, at least one of which may be live, to be electrically and mechanically connected. The connector includes biasing means which cause the switch to move to the electrical connection position. A safety device is provided which retains the biasing means in a biased condition and the switch in an open position until user actuation at the desired time such that movement of the safety device allows the release of the biasing means and the movement of the switch to the closed contact position at a speed to allow safe electrical connection.
