ABSTRACT:
A female plug connector for receiving a standard jack has an outer sleeve having an annular edge at one end. On the interior of said sleeve are a locking surface of reduced diameter and a first and second containing surface of reduced diameter. The plug further has a tubular insert, slidably received in the outer sleeve, having at one end, longitudinally extending slits, forming slotted members to allow for radial expansion. The insert includes exterior protrusions of reduced diameter to be received in the annular groove of the jack, and an outer annular projection which bears against the locking surface of the outer sleeve when the plug is in the locked position. The tubular insert also has a first and second outer annular containing surface. The female plug connector further includes a first retaining means bearing against the first interior containing surface of the outer sleeve, and the first outer annular containing surface of the plug insert. A second retaining means bears against the second interior containing surface and the second outer annular containing surface of the plug insert. Disposed between the first and second retaining means is a spring for locating the outer sleeve in its normal position relative to the insert. A retainer ring is disposed around the slotted members of the insert, between the outer annular projections of the tubular insert and the first retaining means.
