Abstract
A plug and receptacle electrical connector releasably engageable to interconnect corresponding pairs of cable wires through included electrical contacts has one of the connector parts with a coded set of keys on an outer surface and the other connector part with an opening, the flange edge of which is formed with a corresponding coded set of keyways so as to accept the keyed connector part therewithin. Relative rotation of the connector parts locks the flanged edge behind the keys mating the connector parts. One of the connector parts has a pair of pressure-applying members which extend radially outwardly from the connector part at a substantial angular separation from one another, and the other connector part has first and second pressure-applying members extending radially outwardly from the other connector part at a mutual angle less than that of the pressure applying members on the first connector part. The pressure applying members can be manipulated by the use of one hand alone.
