Abstract
An electrical connector for a safety restraint system comprises a connector housing, a plurality of contact elements disposed in the connector housing, an activation member movable relative to the connector housing in an activation direction between a deactivation position and an activation position, and a short-circuiting member disposed on the activation member. The connector housing is adapted to be plugged into a mating connector in a plug-in direction. The contact elements are adapted to be brought into electrical contact with a plurality of mating contact elements of the mating connector. The short-circuiting member is disposed on the activation member and electrically connects the contact elements only in the deactivation position. The contact elements are not electrically connected to one another in the activation position.
