  • Patent number: 6196865
    Abstract: A connector composed of two hinged subassemblies (26, 28) that enable a removable rear connector to be fitted onto a plug (10) whether or not fitted with its wiring. Subassembly (26) comprises a collar formed of at least two sections (36a, 36b) capable of being placed behind the plug (10). Subassembly (28) forms a ring formed of at least two sections (56a, 56b) designed simultaneously to encircle the rear of the plug (10) and the collar. The ring operates in conjunction with the connector by means of threads (20, 60) and with the collar by means of a assembly consisting of a throat (62) and a ring-shaped ridge (54). The subassembly (26) is also prevented from rotating relative to plug (10).
