Abstract

See full text

An inline multi-pin connector includes cylindrical male and female connector members which are electrically connected together by pushing the two members together end-to-end. Either the male or the female connector member has a metal cylinder disposed about its conductive pins or sockets, which are adapted for mutual engagement, while the other connector member is provided with inner threads. The metal cylinder includes plural resilient, spaced arms, or tabs, disposed about its outer periphery and urged radially outward and into engagement with the other member's threads to connect the two connector members. Coaxial seals are disposed between and in contact with the two members as is a compressible O-ring seal. The outer periphery of the inner member's cylindrical insulator is provided with alternating peaks and valleys, while the other member's metal cylinder is provided with inwardly extending resilient arms which are adapted for positioning within a respective facing valley to prevent vibration-induced disconnection.
