Electrical connector including a make-before-break switch arrangement

TLDR
A circuit breaker connector (100) for joining the ends of a pair of cables (10, 20) and passing an electrical signal therethrough, including a contact arrangement comprising an input contact (38) and an output contact (44) electrically connected to an internal switch contact (70) with the contacts cooperating to define a first electrical circuit path, and make-before-break switch means (72, 60) allowing insertion of an external circuit element (90) without interrupting the first circuit path for completing a second electrical circuit element including the circuit element(90) before
