ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has a socket member (1) with a body portion (2) having a tubular leading part (3) into which the tubular leading part (8) of a body portion (7) of a plug member (6) can engage. Locking is effected by means of a ring (11) which is retained on the plug member (6) and provided with an internal screw thread (14) co-operating with an external screw thread (5) on the leading part (3). When the ring (11) is screwed onto the socket (1) a leading end face (18) of the socket (1) is applied against an inclined face (17) of a tactile telltale (16) which is thereby urged outwardly of the ring (11) against the force of a return spring (19) to give a tactile indication to an inspector that the connector, which may be outside the field of vision of the inspector, is fully engaged.
