<p>A clamping connection assembly for separable parts of a spacecraft is provided and includes a tension belt for securing a plurality of retainers against camming surfaces on flange members on separable spacecraft component parts. The other peripheral edges of the flange members have detents to respectively receive a single shear pin mounted on each of the retainers. The shear pins receive any shear and torsional forces and transmit them between the structural parts of the spacecraft components without creating additional forces on the tension belt.</p> |
