摘要:
To prevent possible misalignment of the various parts of a plug and receptacle connector, if the coupling ring is inadvertently rotated before the receptacle is in full position, there is provided an interlock sleeve. This sleeve is spring-loaded and positioned between the coupling ring and the plug outer surface. Internal and external keys incorporated within the sleeve prevent inadvertent rotation of the coupling ring until the receptacle has made entry into the plug sufficiently to key both the coupling ring and plug shell.

The invention is directed to a protective cover for the open face of the receptacle section of a multi contact electrical connector when the receptacle section and the plug section are not mated. The protective cover comprises a barrel and a cover plate closing one end of the barrel. Inside the barrel there is positioned a spring means so located that a disc placed over the spring means can be controllably moved longitudinally in said barrel to contact the end of said receptacle open face. At the outer end of said barrel are indexing means for polarized alignment with indexing means on said receptacle and locking means, for locked retainment of said cover to said receptacle socket.
