Abstract
A cam connector includes a contact pin and an intermatable pin receptacle. The cam connector can be mated by inserting the pin in the receptacle and rotating the elements with respect to one another. A latch enables rotation of the contact pin and pin receptacle in a first direction to intermate and inhibits the rotation of the contact pin and pin receptacle in a second direction to disengage the pin from the receptacle. The contact pin and the pin receptacle may be secured within respective housings by a set screw.
