ABSTRACT:
A connector for joining ends of a pair of cables is disclosed. The connector includes first and second connector members each having a mating end with the mating end of the first connector member having an opening to receive the mating end of the second connector member. Means associated with the mating ends of the first and second connector members are provided for orienting the connector members for mating engagement. The orientation means permits the mating end of the first connector member to receive the mating end of the second connector member only in a preselected position of relative rotation. Means associated with the mating ends of the first and second connector members are also provided for securing the connector members in locked engagement. The orientation means provides an entryway leading to the securing means to permit locked engagement of the connector members with the securing means following mating engagement with the orientation means. The connector also includes resilient retaining means serving to resist forces tending to move the connector members out of locked engagement and providing an environmental seal. With these features of construction, the connector provides for self-alignment and positive locking in a low cost, light weight, weatherproof construction.
