ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a connector for joining ends of a pair of cables and, more particularly, to a connector having cooperatively related self-alignment and positive locking features. Prior art connectors of this type are usually rather expensive to manufacture and diffi- cult to install with the exception of the push/pull type that are easy to install but do not provide positive locking. Accordingly, the present invention, in its broadest aspect, is directed to an improved connector comprising first and second connector members each having a mating end with the mating end of the first connector member having an opening to receive the mating end of the second connector member. Means associated with the mating ends of the first and second connector members are provided for orienting the connector members for mating engagement. Means associated with the mating ends of the first and second connector members are also provided for securing the connector members in locked engagement. The orientation means provides an entryway leading to the securing means to permit locked engagement of the connector members with the securing means following mating engagement with the orientation means. With these features of construction, a connector is provided having self-alignment and positive locking in a low cost, light weight, weatherproof construction.
