ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for use, for example, at the end of an audio visual (A/V) system cable. The connector includes a body from which extends a sleeve for engaging a corresponding feature of another electrical connector. The sleeve of the electrical connector of the present invention forms a slot having a first portion and a second portion that intersect with each other, the first slot portion having an orientation that varies from the orientation of the second slot portion. In one embodiment, the connector includes a cylindrical sleeve, and the slot first portion extends from the distal end of the sleeve parallel to the connector's central axis and intersects the slot second portion at a right angle, meaning that in combination the first slot-portion and the second slot portion define a clip that extends along the periphery of the sleeve.
