  • Aircraft ground power connector
    Patent number: 6832925
    Abstract: An electromechanical connector for use between an aircraft power connector and a ground power connector. The connector includes a housing and at least one pin and socket assembly disposed at least partially within the housing. The pin and socket assembly includes a pin portion and a socket portion. The pin portion is engageable with a socket of the ground power connector, whereas the socket portion is engageable with an aircraft pin of the aircraft power connector. A socket fitting is disposed within the socket portion to electrically contact the aircraft pin when the aircraft pin is engaged with the socket portion. The pin and socket assembly also includes a collet for gripping the aircraft pin when the aircraft pin is engaged with the socket portion. Further, the connector is configured to allow for individualized adjustment of the frictional force applied by the collet to the aircraft pin.
