    Abstract: A loadbreak electrical connector includes a connector body having first and second passages therewithin and a safety probe configured to be installed within the first passage. The safety probe includes a conductive probe body extending between first and second ends, the probe body having a probe aperture at the second end and a probe pin connected to the probe body via the probe aperture. The safety probe includes an arc quenching section located at a distal end of the probe pin and has a resistance section located between the second end of the probe body and the arc quenching section. The resistance section is made of a highly resistance material which reduces current flow through this section of the safety probe.
