ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprising a hollow first connector body housing electrical connector blades and adapted to receive a hollow second connector body housing electrical contacts for receiving the connector blades. Blade insertion and withdrawal forces are minimized by using generous tolerances and assuring integrity of the connection through utilization of opposed locking ramp members to resist connector and power cord separation forces. Exterior lock members on the second connector body engage a pair of first ramp members on the first connector body. A power cord strain relief fitting is held within an insert assembly which is insertable into an open end of the second connector body. Second ramp members on the insert assembly engage openings in the second connector body whereby axial forces on the strain relief fitting are transferred from the insert assembly to the second connector body, and then to the first connector body by means of the first ramp members.
