Abstract
A shunt for an electrical connector that comprises a conductive body which has two resilient leg extensions connecting at a hinge, each of the leg extensions terminating at a tail end opposite the hinge. Each of the leg extensions has at least one contact point on an outer surface thereof for engaging a contact of the electrical connector. The leg extensions curve such that they diverge from one another at at least one portion of the conductive body. The at least one contact point is located at this at least one portion.
