ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a multi-contact electrical connector, especially a flat pack connector. The housings for plug and receptacle are X-ray absorbent metal to substantially decrease X-ray penetration. The receptacle face has perforations in the housing metal of dimensions to function as an EMI Grid to shield against RFI entry through the wave guide perforations. Also the perforations are long enough to substantially shield the sockets from X-rays striking the perforations at an angle. The plug and receptacle are locked in mated relation by collet fingertips which close to a ball shape for entry and exit from a receptacle recess, and open wide to a diameter larger than the entry/exit opening in the recess to lock the plug and receptacle in the mated position. A spring loaded plunger rod maintains the locked position. The tug of a lanyard releases the spring load and the fingertips close, are pulled out of the recess by another spring, unlocking the connector and also separating the receptacle from the plug.
