Abstract: Disclosed is a non-vented electrical connector designed to mate with a connection to a transformer or the like in a primary power distribution system. The connector will mate with and make electrical connection with a load break terminator as used in such systems, so that an electrical circuit carrying high currents at elevated voltage levels may be broken in the field without harm to the service personnel making and breaking the connection. The connector has internal members for suppressing the arc generated by high current, high voltage circuit openings and closures. In addition, the connector has internal structure for rapidly condensing and diffusing gases formed within the connector by an arc. In this way, the gas pressure developed in the connector is relieved to prevent pressure blowouts of the terminator. The gas condensing structure shown includes further, a multiple thickness tubular screen, which may be comprised of a length of fine mesh screen coiled into a tubular form. In addition, the connector has an internal scraping member which contacts the arc follower and removes surface contaminants to prevent such contaminants from adding to an arc and to prevent secondary arcing due to the presence of such contaminants in the path of an arc.
