ABSTRACT:
A connector 13 is provided with a rotationally spring-loaded coupling ring 21 having a set of thread segments 139 distributed around its front end. A pair of identical such connectors 13 may be quickly interlocked by pressing the connectors together and twisting their coupling rings in mutually opposite directions.
Also disclosed is an alignment tube segment 47 which when interfitted with its identical counterpart forms an alignment tube for precisely maintaining a pair of contact bushings 111 on a single axis. A tool 211 designed to install such an alignment tube segment into the disclosed connector is also disclosed.
