Abstract
A shorting connector for engaging a switch. A connector housing encloses two spaced apart contacts that form part of a circuit controlled by a switch. In the event that the switch is separated from the connector a torsion spring shorted element moves within the connector housing and bridges the spaced apart contacts to maintain a closed circuit.
