Abstract
A quickly separable and disconnectable electrical connector device ( ) comprises a pin section ( ) having a socket receptacle ( ) and a socket section ( ). A mounting flange ( ) is mounted about the socket receptacle and is coupled to a supporting structure ( ) on the socket section. A force member configured as a ring ( ) surrounds the pin engageable end of socket receptacle ( ) and is adapted to abut the pin section. An adjustable spring ( ) on the socket receptacle urges force member ( ) against pin section ( ), and is located adjacent to one side of flange ( ) for reducing the force required to separate the pin and socket sections from one another and thereby for aiding separation therebetween.
