RELAY RECEPTACLE SHORTING PLUG
First Claim
1. A relay receptacle shorting plug, comprising:
- a base having a plurality of terminals projecting from a first end of the base and the terminals having a physical arrangement to mate with contacts of a relay receptacle, wherein the arrangement of the terminals allows for the relay receptacle shorting plug to be matably inserted into the relay receptacle, and the terminals include first and second power terminals and at least one control terminal;
a handle extending from a second end of the plug base that provides an elongated structure to facilitate insertion and removal of the relay receptacle shorting plug with respect to the relay receptacle; and
a conductor forming part of a closed conductive pathway between the first and second power terminals so that the relay receptacle shorting plug provides a current pathway between the first and second power contacts of the relay receptacle.

Abstract
A relay receptacle shorting plug to short power contacts of a relay receptacle. The shorting plug includes a base having a plurality of terminals projecting from a first end of the base and the terminals have a physical arrangement to mate with contacts of the relay receptacle. The arrangement of the terminals allows for the shorting plug to be matably inserted into the relay receptacle. The terminals include first and second power terminals and at least one control terminal. The shorting plug also includes a closed conductive pathway between the first and second power terminals so that the shorting plug provides a current pathway between first and second power contacts of the relay receptacle. The relay receptacle shorting plug may provide an elongated structure to facilitate insertion and removal of the shorting plug with respect to the relay receptacle.
