COAXIAL CONNECTOR HAVING CIRCUIT-INTERRUPTING PROVISIONEFFECTED BY MATING OR HAVING "DEAD" CONTACT ACTIVATED AFTERMATING:
(under the class definition) Art collection particularly
adapted to use with a coaxial cable comprising an electrical connector (a) including a characteristic intended to modify the flow of electrical current upon the making of the connection, other than that effected by the connection, or (b) including an electricity-transmitting member intended not to be connected to a source of electrical current before mating with corresponding electricity-transmitting member of a cooperating connector, but to be so connected to a source of electrical current after mating.
(1) Note. Under clause (b) of this definition the "dead" contact may be actuated by sliding within the connector to make engagement with another contact that is "live" (i.e., charged with electrical current).

200, Electricity: Circuit Makers and Breakers, for an electrical connector assembly combined with a switch, generally; especially
51+, for an electrical connector combined with a switch that is actuated upon application of the connector with a mating connector, wherein the switch is remote from the connector assembly or is functional to actuate a distinct electrical circuit. See the line expressed under section III of the Class 439 definition.
