ABSTRACT:
A two piece dielectric housing is connected together by a rotatable shaft. Electrical contacts within the first housing member have the end portions thereof protruding for receipt into the second housing portion. The second housing portion is provided with receptacle passageways therethrough for plugging the housing onto male electrical terminals. When the male electrical terminals are received within the housing, the shaft is rotated to retract the housing second portion partially into the housing first portion. Stationary cam surfaces on the housing second portion then engage upon the contacts and bias them into electrical engagement with the male electrical terminals inserted within the housing. Such structure permits the receipt of the male electrical terminals within the housing without initial engagement upon the electrical contacts therein. Subsequently the contacts are biased into engagement with the male electrical terminals once they are fully inserted within the housing.
