ABSTRACT:
A connector for joining two electrical connection assemblies including first and second assembly housings, each having a generally tubular wall open at one end. The first assembly housing has a cam. A collar is slidably attached to the exterior of the tubular wall of the second assembly housing. A moveable tab on one of the second assembly housing and the collar is in axial alignment with the cam of the first assembly housing. A stop ridge on the other of the second assembly housing and the collar is aligned with the tab so that the tab contacts the stop ridge at a predetermined point and restricts axial movement of the collar relative to the second assembly housing. Upon assembly of the first assembly housing and the second assembly housing, at a predetermined point of axial motion of the one with respect to the other, the cam of the first assembly housing pushes the moveable tab, disengaging the tab from the stop ridge, so that the collar is no longer so restricted, by contact of the tab and the stop ridge, from axial movement relative to the second assembly housing and the collar is thus permitted to move axially toward the first housing.
