<p>An electrical connector (400) for use, for example at the end of an audio visual ( A/V ) system cable. The connector (400) includes a body (415) from which extends a sleeve (420) for engaging a corresponding feature of another electrical connector. The sleeve (320) of the electrical connector of the present invention forms a slot (470) having a first portion (471) and a second portion (472) that intersect with each other, the first slot portion having an orientation that varies from the orientation of die second slot portion (472). In one embodiment, the connector (400) includes a cylindrical sleeve (420), and the slot first portion (471) extends from the distal end (433) of die sleeve (420) parallel to the connector's central axis and intersects die slot second portion (477) at a right angle, meaning that in combination the first slot portion (471) and the second slot portion (472) define a clip (490) that extends along the periphery of the sleeve (420).</p> |
