<p>A compact plug-and-receptacle combination (10, 12) is of the type where the receptacle (12) is designed to be telescopically received within the end of the plug to provide a high degree of shielding integrity. The plug is assembled from upper and lower half-shells (16, 18) that retain a connection block (50) containing contacts (52) and the receptacle is defined by inter-engaging inner and outer shells (10, 72) also retain a connection block (94) containing contacts (96) for inter-engaging the contacts of the plug. A slot (20) in the plug receives a raised key-like projection (42) on the receptable to effect a polarization function. A flush-mounted latch (26) is aligned with the slot to resiliently engage an opening (44) in the projection to releasably latch the plug into engagement with the receptacle. A resilient spring (46) is provided on the receptacle on the side opposite the raised key-like projection to assist in maintaining the plug and receptacle in mechanical and electrical engagement with one another.</p> |
