ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing of generally cylindrical configuration having a plurality of windows formed in its circumferential wall, a spaced pair of generally ring-shaped distributor conductors disposed within the housing and accessible through the windows, and insulating means supporting the distributor conductors within the housing. The connector is adapted to receive a number of male plugs, each having its insulating base inserted within a corresponding one of the windows while its pair of flat contact blades engage respective ones of the generally ring-shaped conductor members.
An insulating spacer which separates the two ring-shaped conductor members is formed in two separate parts. Each conductor ring is attached to a corresponding insulating member, and then the two insulating members are fitted together.
The structure of each conductor ring, and its method of support, are such that the insertion of one contact blade causes the adjacent circumferential portion of the conductor ring to flex, in order to provide adequate contact pressure with the blade, but without affecting the operation of other circumferential portions of the conductor ring.
