Abstract (en)

[origin: US6447320B1] A circular plug and socket connector is introduced for producing electrical line connections. In the region of one of its ends it includes a housing, accommodating and holding an insulating base as contact carrier and, in the region of its other end, is includes a sealing cable lead-in and a coupling ring, which makes a screwed connection with a second plug and socket connector half of complementary construction and is mounted rotatably on the outer periphery of the housing and secured against being pulled off in the axial direction and a covering cap fixed mechanically to the housing. In the interests of improving the ease of installation and service, the circular plug and socket connector is distinguished in that a coupling ring, extending over more than the total length of the plug and socket connector half, is supported in the region of its free end, protruding over contact carrier, on a cylindrical peripheral surface of the housing and, in the region of its other end, on a cylindrical longitudinal section of a neck continuation of the covering cap.
