Abstract
A connector for mating a plurality of male and female electrical contacts has two tubular telescoping body portions and an annular collar surrounding them. A spring is confined inside the collar with its ends engaging the collar and a first body portion so as to yieldingly resist rotation of the collar relative to the first body portion. Axially opposed camming tabs on the collar and second body rotate the collar as the bodies are telescoped to a latching position of the tabs locking the connector bodies in mated contact position.
