Abstract

A quick disconnect electrical connector a male and female connector, each having opposite segments of flexible threads which inter-engage when the two connectors are assembled. The thread segments of the female connector are on a flexible wall which defect to permit engagement with the other connector. A
peripheral rim is formed in the overmold (14) of the male connector and a mating groove is formed in the overmold (12) of the female conneector to form a tactile indicator (7A) that the connection is complete and to secure the two mating connectors together.
