PLUG-AND-SOCKET CONNECTOR Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: electric engineering. SUBSTANCE: housing of plug has flanges and housing of socket has three additional holes. In addition socket has two contact mechanisms, spring-loaded sleeve, rod and spring-loaded clamps. Before connection of plug, rod is inserted in additional hole and fixed by threaded joint. This results in burying of spring-loaded sleeve, in movement of clamps, which are pressed by springs, and in release of contact mechanisms. When plug is inserted, flanges of its housing enter into two remaining additional holes of socket and moves pistons of contact mechanisms so that conduction contacts are closed. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 1 dwg
