• a body having an interior,
• a cover positioned on the body to cover the interior of the body, the cover having a plurality of ring-shaped openings therethrough providing passage into the interior of the body,
• a plurality of resiliently mounted electrical contactors each positioned in the interior of the body and adjacent to one of the plurality of ring-shaped openings in the cover;
• a central bore extending through the body along an axis about which the plurality of ring-shaped openings of the cover;
• and
• a ledge extending radially outwards from the central bore at a side of the body opposite to a side of the body upon which the cover is positioned,
• wherein the socket is of the type configured to mechanically and electrically connect to a plug having
• a series of concentric conductive rings positioned to dispose one concentric ring into each ring-shaped opening of the cover when the plug and socket are mated,
• a post insertable into the central bore of the socket, the post having a central bore and at least one transverse bore through the post that is transverse to the central bore of the post,
• a spherical bearing positioned within the at least one transverse bore, and
• a rod having a depressed radial groove formed therein, the rod insertable into the central bore of the post, the rod slideable within the central bore of the post to align the groove with a transverse bore in an unlock position, and to move the groove away from alignment with a transverse bore in an unlocked position.
