ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for a capacitive fuel-gauging probe comprises a socket assembly, mounted on the probe, and plugs. The socket assembly has several sockets each of which has an elongate contact element. The inner surface of each socket has a number of axial rails and channels which engage with rails and channels formed on the outer surface of the housing of a cooperating plug. The cooperating surfaces of the plugs and sockets differ one from the other so that only the correct plug can be inserted in the correct socket. The contact element of each plug is in the form of a resilient loop, the upper portion of which has a projection that locks with an aperture in the socket contact element. Pulling the plug housing out of the socket moves the projection out of the aperture so that the plug can be withdrawn.
