The socket electrical connector includes a housing, at least two electrical contact terminals, and a contact shorting member. The housing includes a first housing member and a second housing member. The second housing member is located in the first housing member and forms a scoop proof dome having a height extending above a top side of the first hosing member. The second housing member forms at least one receiving area for receiving the portion of the mating plug electrical connector. The electrical contact terminals are connected to the first housing member and extend into the at least one receiving area of the second housing member. The contact shorting member is mounted on the second housing member and contacts the electrical contacts.
