Abstract
A plug and socket electrical connection assembly for electrically connecting a pair of cables is disclosed. The connection assembly includes a socket connector adapted to be terminated to one cable of the pair and an elongate plug connector adapted to electrically terminated the other cable of the pair. A plug extent of the plug connector is designed for insertion into a socket extent of the socket connector to establish electrical connection therebetween. A deformable electrically insulative wiping element is attached to the front of the plug extent. The wiping element is dimensioned to snugly fit within the socket extent to wipe any debris or contamination therefrom upon insertion of the plug connector into the socket connector.
