ABSTRACT An electrical shunting contact and method for producing the same for mounting between adjacent first contacts in a first connector and for self-operatively providing a short circuit between the adjacent first electrical contacts when corresponding second contacts of a second connector are demated from the first connector. The electrical shunting contact comprises a conductive member having opposing legs joined by a resilient bridge, each leg having a non-conductive protuberance projecting outwardly therefrom. Under demated conditions, a contact edge of each leg abuts the adjacent first contacts between which the shunting contact is mounted to form a short circuit therebetween and the non-conductive protuberance is disposed in a chamber located just above the first contact. The presence of a second contact forces the legs of the shunting contact to be compressed out of engagement with the first contacts, thereby creating an open circuit between the adjacent first contacts.
