Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a quick-fastening locking arrangement for locking together a plug member and a socket member, including a locking peg connected with one of the plug and socket members, and a cylindrical locking cam connected with the other member, which locking cam is pivotable through a relatively small angle between locked and unlocked positions relative to the locking peg. The cylindrical locking cam is mounted at one end of the plug member adjacent the socket member for rotation about a transverse axis relative to the collinear axis of the plug and socket members. In one embodiment, the socket member is mounted in an opening contained in a mounting wall to which the locking peg is fastened. In a second embodiment, the locking peg is fastened directly to the socket member.
