ABSTRACT:
This disclosure describes electrical connectors of the mating plug and receptacle type that utilize a plurality of contact pin and socket connectors. The mating plug 10 contains a plurality of non-conductive followers 25 that each engage a cam surface 37 on the inner sidewall of a shield 30. When the electrical plug 10 is inserted into a receptacle 44 and the shield 30 is rotated and then slightly withdrawn, the followers 25 are urged by the cam surface 37 to press against the socket contact assemblies 18 which in turn more tightly engage the contact pins 18 of the receptacle 44.
