Abstract: A quick-disconnect electrical connector coupling assembly has an electrical connector plug assembly which surrounds and mates with a receptacle shell. The electrical connector plug assembly may be quickly disconnected by the application of an external axially-directed force imparted by means of remote control through the use of a lanyard affixed to the assembly. The lanyard may be attached to a ring which surrounds the connector plug assembly. The electrical connector plug assembly comprises a first coupling ring surrounded by a second coupling ring. The first coupling ring has a plurality of apertured mountings which accommodate, in each mounting, the insertion of a floating land segment positioned atop a ramp spring segment. When the coupling is fully mated, the ramp spring segments protrude radially into the inner surface of the first coupling ring and abut a plurality of fixed bayonet pins to secure the mated connection.
