An explosion-proof instrument quick disconnect 10 and seal 25 is provided for use in hazardous e.g., explosive environments to quickly connect or disconnect energized or de-energized electrical circuits. The quick disconnect and seal includes mating electrical receptacle inserts positioned within a male 30 and female 20 portion. The male and female portions are connected to one another by a coupling nut 50 having threads that engage mating threads on the male portion 30, thereby moving the male portion 30 therby moving the male portinon 30 relative the female portion 20 by rotation of the coupling nut 50, while at the same time preventing the electrical connection of the mating receptacle inserts in the male and female portions before the explosion-proof chamber 26 is secure. |
