ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector including a housing having an axis, a receptacle, a tube-like plug shell and apparatus for mounting the plug shell inside the housing in a manner to translate in either or both of two different directions, in a manner to rotate about the housing axis, and in a manner to tilt about the housing axis. The plug shell also has a flared end portion to receive the receptacle. The plug shell carries a socket in a throat portion thereof, and the receptacle carries one or more pins to be mated to the socket. The plug shell thus is capable of moving relative to the housing in substantially an infinite number of paths to accommodate mating when the receptacle has any one of a great number of positions and entry angles and paths into the flared end portion of the receptacle. Proper mating under these circumstances is made possible in spite of any misalignment and in locations of moderate or extreme inaccessibility or under other difficult circumstances.
