Abstract (en)
An electrical power connector is disclosed having a plug and receptacle. The plug includes a coupling ring having a single handle extending radially therefrom. The coupling ring is freely rotatable within limits on the plug when the plug is not coupled to the receptacle. The receptacle includes one or more bayonet ramps to which the coupling ring can be coupled. Advantageously, the plug can be coupled to the receptacle with 120 DEG rotation or less by rotating the coupling ring 120 DEG or less. The plug and receptacle each include a colored locking indicator to indicate to the person coupling the plug to the receptacle that the receptacle and plug are properly aligned to each other when coupled. Also an audible indication of locking is provided when the electrical plug and receptacle are fully coupled. <IMAGE>
