Abstract
An aircraft ground connector is described for delivering electrical power to aircraft parked at airports. The connector includes a thermal sensor arrangement which is positioned in the normal insulating body of such connector, which sensor reacts to a rise of temperature in such body higher than a predetermined temperature by cutting off the flow of electrical power through the body.
