ABSTRACT:
A quick-connect system for mechanically and electrically connecting two components therebetween. In an exemplary embodiment, the mechanical quick-connect is comprised of: a receptacle in the first component; a barrel protruding from the second component; and a lock for locking the barrel inside the receptacle. Electrical connection, such as a coaxial connection, can also be obtained between the barrel and receptacle, while in the locked position by using a pin assembly axially located in the barrel. The lock may comprise a tooth and slot configuration, wherein the tooth is in compressive contact with a spring which compression continuously exerts force on the tooth and causes the end of the tooth to engage to the cam slot on the barrel, thereby locking the barrel inside the receptacle. The barrel may be disengaged with a turn that is less than 180 degrees.
