  • Electrical connector coupling member
    Patent number: 4359256
    Abstract: The invention described is a plastic electrical connector characterized by a coupling ring 1 having two elongated apertures 11 and 14, one of which 14 receives a pin 21 on another housing 2. The elongated aperture 11 allows the portion 16 between the apertures 11 and 14 to deflect when the pin 21 travels between recesses 15 in one side of aperture 14 thereby providing a bias against the coupling ring 1 that helps to prevent accidental uncoupling of the housings 2 and 3.
