ABSTRACT:
A columnar key is formed integrally with a socket body of an insulating material attached to the back of a cylindrical metal member of a socket and extends in the cylindrical member axially thereof. The socket body had contact support plates extending axially therefromm in the cylindrical member so that they extend over and under the columnar key, respectively. The cylindrical member has a plug guide portion for guiding a cylindrical metal shield cover of the mating plug to the position where the front end face of the plug body abuts against the front end face of the columnar key while holding the center axis of the shield cover of the plug in alignment with the center axis of the cylindrical member of the socket after the cylindrical metal shield cover of the plug is inserted into the cylindrical member of the socket. By turning the plug about its axis to a specified rotational angular position after the front end face of the plug body abuts against the front end face of the columnar key, the columnar key is fitted into a key hole made in the plug body, permitting further insertion of the plug into the socket.
