Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an electrical connector (10). The electrical connector (10) comprises: a male part (12) and a female part (14); and a connector coupling operative to engage the male part and the female part with each other, the connector coupling being brought into engagement by relative rotation of the male and female parts. A spring biased pin (45) projects from one of the male and female parts and a recess (42) is defined in the other of the male and female parts, the pin being received in the recess when the connector coupling is engaged to thereby limit relative rotation of the male and female parts and prevent disengagement of the connector coupling. The electrical connector also comprises a disengaging device (80), the electrical connector being configured such that upon relative rotation of the disengaging device and one of the male and female parts, the disengaging device advances along the said one part and in so doing depresses the pin against its bias to thereby allow for disengagement of the connector coupling.
