ABSTRACT:
The releasable electrical connector includes two separable components. Pivotal pawls must pass between lands or keys in order to couple the two components together, thereby providing an indexing feature that prevents a mismating of components. Cam followers in helical grooves effect the coupling and are prevented from reverse movement in their respective grooves by the fingers of a detent fork that are urged into an obstructive relationship with the cam followers. Release of the coupled components is effective via a lanyard that pulls the coupling ring sleeve longitudinally to such an extent that the pawls pivot outwardly into an unlatching position.
