An electrical connector for terminating conductors of a shielded multiconductor cable and for mating with a complementary electrical connector comprises an insulative housing supporting a plurality of elongate electrical contacts thereon. The contacts include a contact engaging portion and a shunt engaging portion movably supported on the housing. The contact engaging portion terminates in a curved free end that is axially movable within the housing. A pair of shunt bars is disposed transversely to and in electrical engagement with shunt engaging portions of the contact thereby electrically commoning preselected pairs of electrical contacts when the connector is in a disconnected condition. Upon electrical connection with a complementary connector, the movable portion of the contact is moved axially in the housing as a result of the free movement of the free end of the contact, thereby causing the shunt engaging portions to move transversely relative to the shunt bars and away therefrom providing a wiping action during both connection with the complementary connector and disengagement therefrom.
