Abstract

A releasable locking means for a two part electrical connector member for preventing the accidental separation of the two body members when they are joined in electrical engagement where one body member is provided with at least two male circuit-carrying elements, one male element carrying high potential electrical current and the other male element carrying low potential electrical current, both elements extending outwardly from the face of one of the body members and aligned with corresponding individual recesses in the face of the second, or female, body member, which recesses are for receiving the two male circuit-carrying elements, the releasable locking member being in the form of a pin extending inwardly of the female body member and adapted to engage one of the extensions of the male body member when in one position and to disengage itself from the extended male element when in another position.
