Abstract

Improvements in the construction of electrical connectors characterized by consisting of a copulatory composite electrical connector for selectively connecting and disconnecting an electrically excited conductor with or from a load, said connector having removable portions, having one of said portions (a) a conductive probe mechanically mounted to it at one end and electrically connected to said conductor at the same end, said probe having a free end remote from said assembly; (b) a non-conductive, open-ended receiver that surrounds said probe in radially spaced relation; presenting the other of the mentioned portions; (c) a non-conductive probe having a free end with an outer surface shaped to mate with the interior of said receiver (b); (d) a conductive receiver having an inner surface shaped to mate with the outside of said conductive probe (a) adjacent its free end, said inner surface being spaced from the free end of said non-conductive probe (c) by a distance substantially equal to but less than the length of said conductive probe (a) within said non-conductive receiver (b); y (e) a pair of arc-restricting elements, mounted inside said non-conducting probe (c) between said conductive receiver (d) and the free end of said non-conducting probe (c) with said arc-limiting elements being said elastically influenced one towards the other but free for energetic movement in distance by a distance sufficient to accommodate between them the conductive probe (a).
