Abstract
An electrical rectangular connector having an expanded range on the lower limit of the environment resisting wire sealing webs, a dielectric hard face socket insert to detect splayed or bent pin contacts, a controlled configuration on the contact retention clips which provides easy insertion and removal on the contacts. Additionally, the modular insert construction of the connector allows flexibility to the wiring system, meaning, the connector can have a signal, power, coaxial or twinaxial or combination circuitry and also a bayonet coupling mechanism assembly using dowel pins and dual helical ramp grooves to retrin the connector halves in the coupled condition. Consequently, a visual indicator consisting of an arrowhead opposite a marker labeled 'HOME' provides assurance on a fully coupled plug and receptacle connector.
