Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0949721A1] A monopole electrical connector (4) for interconnecting a conductor such as a cable to a structure for ground or power connection, comprises a receptacle portion mountable over a stud (8) having transverse locking protrusions (13). A locking ring (32) is resiliently and rotatably assembled to the connector housing (14), and comprises a camming slot (52) engaging the locking studs (13) of the mating connector (6). The oblique camming portion (52) of the camming slot ensures that unless complete coupling of the connectors has occurred, the connectors are biased to an uncoupled and electrically disconnected state. In the fully coupled state, a transverse locking portion (54) of the camming slot (50) engages the locking protrusions (13) of the mating connector thereby securely locking the connectors together. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
