A reverse bayonet connector, such as those found in the AEC 95234 series, is a type of electrical connector designed for secure and rapid connections in harsh environments. The term "reverse bayonet" refers to the locking mechanism used in the connector. In a reverse bayonet connector, instead of twisting the connector itself to lock it in place (as with a standard bayonet connector), you twist the outer sleeve or collar of the connector to secure it. This design provides a quick and reliable method for mating and unmating the connector, even in conditions where vibrations or other factors might cause traditional connectors to become loose.
