ABSTRACT:
A high current carrying connector plug and receptacle are disclosed. The plug comprises a body of electrical insulating material with plurality of shaped passages extending therethrough, electrical conductors having a flat blade contact portion, a stop means and a hollowed cylindrical portion for receiving and securing a current carrying electrical cable. The passages include stop engaging means. A retainer means engages the flat bladed portion preventing axial movement of the conductors in the plug body.
The receptacle comprises a body of electrical insulating material having shaped passages therethrough, electrically conductive conductor contact engaging assemblies in each passage at the front face of the body. The contact assemblies comprise movable jaws having a front contact engaging portion and a rear coupler engaging portion and a spring retainer means converging at least one pair of jaws. The electrical conductors have a coupler portion, stop means and a cylindrical body portion with a recess for receiving high current carrying electrical cable. Each of the passages are shaped to include stop engaging means to "stop" the conductors and retain them against the stop means. Movement of the conductor contact engaging assembly and the conductors along an axis from the front face to the rear face is prevented by the retainer means.
