Abstract
An indicator for a mating connector pair provides a visual indication when a plug-side connector is fully engaged with a jack-side connector. The plug-side connector is configured for engagement with the jack-side connector to form an electrical connection. The plug-side connector includes a connector body and a bayonet sleeve rotatably connected to the connector body. The sleeve includes two slots which are configured for engagement with corresponding lugs on the jack-side connector. The indicator is located on the sleeve and aligns with a reference point when the slots in the sleeve are fully engaged with the lugs of the jack-side connector. The indicator may be a substantially V-shaped notch, a dimple, a ridge or a lug.
