LOCK SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical connector comprises a lock system for locking together two body parts of the connector. The body parts are rotatable relative to one another and rotation in one relative direction couples the two body parts via the lock system. A locking means is provided on the outside of the inner body part and comprises a locking tab for engaging an abutment on the inside of the outer body part to couple the two body parts. An aperture through the outer body part allows for insertion of a tool to depress the locking tab and disengage it from the abutment to allow for uncoupling of the two body parts. A finger tab of the locking means engages the locking tab as it is depressed by the tool to cause it to remain disengaged from the abutment while the two body parts are rotated into the uncoupled position.
