ABSTRACT:
A plug contact assembly, comprising a female plug member and a corresponding male plug piece, is provided with an interlocking means utilizing a locking tongue member which is protected from deformation and mechanical stress within the confines of an annular surrounding socket wall. The tongue is a free-extending, resilient member having at least one detent hump formed thereon and arranged to engage into an associated detent recess formed along a generally flat base wall surface of the other plug section to establish a locking interconnection of the plug contact members. The tongue is spaced beneath an adjacent edge of a plug head portion to define therebetween a groove into which the base wall of the other associated plug section slides during interengagement of the plug members. The groove and base wall are of approximately equal heights such that a tight-fit passage of the base wall into the groove is afforded, thereby assuring proper alignment of connector pins and plug contact holes during the joining together of the male and female plug members.
