Abstract:
1. A push-lock electrical connector including male and female connector members having respective plural conductive pins and sockets adapted for mutual engagement in forming electrical connections, the electrical connector comprising: a hollow cylindrical member attached to either a first male or female connector member aligned with and disposed about the conductive pins and/or sockets, said cylindrical member having plural spaced radially resilient members formed or extending from a lateral portion of said cylindrical member, a cylindrical insulator insert disposed within said cylindrical member and having disposed on an outer lateral surface thereof alternating upraised and recessed portions, said cylindrical member includes at least one radially inward directed resilient arm adapted for positioning in and engaging a respective recessed portion of said insulator insert; and a cylindrical coupling sleeve attached to a second male or female connector member not attached to said hollow cylindrical member, said coupling sleeve having threads disposed on a lateral portion of said coupling sleeve, with said cylindrical member and said coupling sleeve aligned with one another and moved together so that one connector member receives the other in an overlapping manner along a common axis with each conductive pin engaging a respective socket, wherein said resilient members are urged in a first opposed radial direction and engage the threads of said coupling sleeve for coupling the male and female connector members together in a threaded manner.
