ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly is shown having two connector members. The first connector member is a shell having electrical terminals mounted therein. The shell can be fixedly mounted to a base. The second connector member includes a body portion (20) which includes a second plurality of terminals which are matable with the first set of terminals. The second connector member includes a locking ring assembly (130) comprising a forward lock ring (50), a center stop ring (70) and a rear lock ring (100). A lanyard (40) is fixed to the connector body yet resides within a groove (84) of the center stop ring (70). Tension on the lanyard (40) causes a camming effect between the lanyard (40) and the stop ring (70) and causes the stop ring (70) to rotate, thereby disconnecting the first and second connector members.
