ABSTRACT:
The connector includes first and second axially mating parts carrying interengageable contact members. A pair of spaced flexible locking arms axially extend from the first part. Each arm includes a body portion and a locking portion, the latter having a pair of laterally extending lobes. The second part has a pair of axially extending recesses terminating in a circumferential groove in which a sleeve is rotatably mounted. The sleeve has circumferential recesses each including a nesting section and a camming section. The sleeve is biased to normally align the nesting sections with the respective axially extending recesses. To lock the parts, the body portions of arms are received in the respective axially extending recesses with the locking portions thereof situated in the respective nesting sections such that radially extending shoulders at either side of the axially extending recesses engage the lobes. To release the locking mechanism, the sleeve is rotated against the force of the spring to cause the camming sections to move the locking portions radially outwardly to disengage the lobes from the shoulders to permit separation of the parts.
