<p>A hermaphroditic coupling mechanism includes two identical coupling members (4, 5), each including two latch arms (6, 7) and two detented locking ramp surfaces (15, 21). The latch arms include surfaces (10, 11) which face a coupler interface (19, 20), while the locking ramp surfaces face away from the interface. The latch arms are inserted through grooves (24) in a collar (17, 18) on which the locking ramp surfaces are provided, and the members are then rotated relative to each other causing the surfaces on the latch arms to pass over detents (22) on the locking surfaces, thereby locking the coupling members together against relative axial movement. The coupling members may be secured to respective contacts by a snap-fit arrangement (26, 28-33, and 46). <IMAGE></p> |
