Abstract (en)
An electrical breakaway connector for such uses as with aircraft pilot's helmets includes a mounting fixture (140) to mount the connector to the base of the aircraft. The electrical connector includes data and power contacts within a dielectric housing (30, 60) of the electrical connector, surrounded by a rigid metallic shell (4) which forms an outer housing. The metallic shell includes at the mounting end thereof a swivel joint defined by a ball and socket (140) arrangement which allows the entire connector to swivel and to align itself with a discharge angle of the cable of the mating connector during quick disconnect thereby allowing a smooth release of the two mated connectors.
