ABSTRACT:
A shrouded electrical connector assembly with a male plug and a female socket, the male plug being contained within an insulating cup-shaped shroud and the female socket being contained within another insulating cup-shaped shroud. The male plug cup-shaped shroud is telescopable into the female socket cup-shaped shroud and a bayonet-type contact is provided between the male plug shroud and the female socket shroud. The male plug shroud partially telescopes into the female socket shroud before the male plug engages the female socket, and the male plug shroud and the female socket shroud each have aligned and opposed apertures to permit the shank of a T-shaped locking bar to be inserted therethrough, physically preventing the male plug from being brought into contact with the female socket. The locking bar is secured to the shrouded electrical connector assembly by a flexible cable and its shank is provided with one or more apertures to permit a lock to be attached therethrough. The lock prevents the locking bar from being withdrawn from its locking position until the lock is removed.
