An electrical connector is adapted for mounting to a circuit substrate having a metallic shell assembled onto an insulated housing. In certain embodiments, when it is determined that the air vehicle is about to hit a designated structure, a controller automatically takes control of the air vehicle away from the pilot and causes an automatic computerized pilot to take over control of the air vehicle and causes it to land at a selected airport andor runway. The ferrule is mounted within a housing which includes a forwardly facing abutment surface for engaging the rearwardly facing abutment surface on the ferrule.
