ABSTRACT:
A releasable locking mechanism is provided for an electrical connector in which a plug connector member embodies a sleeve that carries a locking ring. The ring is adapted to engage with a groove in the mating receptacle connector member. A plurality of lock pins are slidably movable over the ring to retain it in its locked position in the groove. In a preferred embodiment, the lock pins embody heads which extend through slots in the sleeve surrounding the pins. The lock pins are actuated by a coupling ring surrounding the rear portion of the sleeve.
