Abstract
A spring-biased electrical connector permits the connector to be moved into a retracted position for installation and removal of the components to which the connector is attached, and then extended to form an electrical connection with its mating connector. The spring-biased connector may be secured in electrical connection with its mating connector. Such a spring-biased connector is particularly useful for connecting a control relay to a network protector, although not limited to such use.
