ABSTRACT:
An improved hermaphroditic multiple connector plug having a front or mating end, and a back or cable end, comprising a cylindrical body having a contact assembly, including means to support a plurality of electrical contacts. The contact assembly surrounds and is sealed to the body, and has projections adapted to mesh with the corresponding projections on the contact assembly of a mating plug, so as to relatively index the two plugs and their contacts. The plug has a cylindrical tubular locking ring with diametrically disposed extensions which mesh with the extensions of the locking ring on a mating plug. There are sloping grooves and ridges on the projections so that as the locking ring is rotated clockwise with respect to a locking ring on a mating plug, the two plugs will be pulled and locked together. When the locking rings are turned counterclockwise with respect to each other, cam surfaces on the ends of the projections act to unlock and separate the two plugs.
