Abstract
A self-centering plug and socket construction particularly adapted for connection of telephone components, such as protector modules and adaptors therefor, to be engaged upon a protector block. The construction is characterized in a generally circular socket formed to include a plurality of arcuate segments which are radially deflectable relative to the principal axis thereof, and a plug in the form of a pin having an engageable tip, the cross section of which is in the form of an open polygon which may be compressed laterally with respect to its axis to reduce the effective cross sectional dimension thereof. The construction is used to provide at least a single vapor tight joint which will not corrode in service.
