Abstract

An electrical connector assembly (10) incorporates a connector (12) with a switch and is designed to electrically and mechanically connect and disconnect to a mating electrical device (14) while maintaining a closed circuit continuously through the connector. The mating electrical device includes a plurality of conductive contacts (20). The electrical connector includes an insulating housing (30) with at least a pair of input and output terminals (32) mounted on the housing. The terminals include contact portions (32b) for engaging the contacts of the mating electrical device. A switch mechanism (40; 60) is movably mounted on the housing for movement between a connecting position and a disconnecting position. The switch mechanism includes a latch member (48; 17) and at least one switch terminal (44). In the connecting position, the latch member is interengaged with a latch (26; 62) on the mating electrical device with the switch terminal out of engagement with the input and output terminal. In the disconnecting position, the latch member (48, 17) is disengageable from the latch (26, 62) on the mating electrical device so that the device can be removed from the assembly with the switch terminal (44) in engagement with the input and output terminals (32) to maintain a closed circuit through the connector (12) when the mating electrical device (14) is removed.
