ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH HOLD-OFF MEANS AGAINST IMPROPER MATING

摘要

An electrical connector having a plug means and a receptacle means, each carrying electrical contacts for mating engagement with the other, the plug and receptacle means being relatively axially moveable to mate and unmate, and stop means to prevent relative axial movement during mating before electrical engagement of said contact elements occur when the plug-receptacle means are incompatible or not intended for mating with each other.
