ABSTRACT:
In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, an electrical connector assembly to connect the end of a seismic cable to a data acquisition unit includes a body member having a plurality of sockets in one end which react with pins on a companion receptacle. A tubular shell which is rotatably mounted on the body member has threads that make up with threads on the receptacle, and a drive ring which engages a shoulder on the body member to force the sockets onto the pins as thread make-up takes place. As the threads are released, the drive ring moves back into engagement with an opposed shoulder on the body member to positively separate the sockets and pins.
