  • ROTARY CONNECTOR HAVING A HOUSING AND A LOCKING RING
    Publication number: 20140235073
    Abstract: A rotary connector assembly includes a connector housing sized to mate with a mating adapter and a lock ring. The connector housing includes at least one flexible tab. The lock ring is disposed over at least a portion of the connector housing. One of the connector housing and the lock ring includes a guide pin and the other includes a guide member disposed between the guide pin and the flexible tab. A rotation of the lock ring in a first direction flexes the tab radially inwards into a first position to secure the mating adapter in the connector housing, and a rotation of the lock ring in a second direction into a second position flexes the tab radially outwards to release the mating adapter from the connector housing.
