An electrical connector is provided with a louvered interconnection strip in which the louvers provide edge pressure on the interconnection surface of one connector member, such as a plug or socket, and interior (non-edge) rib pressure on the complementary interconnection surface of the other connector member. Louver deflection does not cause substantial change in the length of the strip, and the strip can be provided as a closed annulus for use in plug-and-socket connectors in industrial applications such as connectors for portable cable for mining equipment. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
An electrical connector strip to interconnectingly engage complementary male and female members of a plug-and-socket connector each defining a cylindrical interconnection surface, comprising a strip of annular shape and integrally and unitarily provided with a plurality of resiliently deformable, substantially parallel louvers constituting a cylindrical tubular array of louvers, a pair of annular rail portions of said strip unitarily connecting the louvers at opposite ends of the tubular array, the louvers being distributed around said tubular array in spaced relation to each other, the louvers comprising bottom portions adapted to be supported against one of said cylindrical interconnection surfaces and pairs of flange portions on each side of each bottom portion and slanting upwardly for engagement with the other of said cylindrical interconnection surfaces.
2.
A connector strip as in claim 1 wherein central slots extend along the lengths of louver bottom portions.
3.
In an electrical connector assembly comprising a male plug member and a female socket member, an electrical connector strip as in claim 1 received in said female member with said louver bottom portions engaged on and supported against said cylindrical interconnection surface of said female member, and with said upwardly slanting flange portions extending inwardly for engagement by said male member.
4.
A connector strip as in claim 1, the flange portions having straight lengthwise edges extending parallel to the axis of the tubular array at least along the central portions of the lengths of the flange portions.
5.
A connector strip as in claim 4, the pairs of flange portions associated with each louver having, at one end at least, lengthwise edges that taper toward each other and slope down toward the bottom portion of the louver.
6.
A connector strip as in claim 5, in which said lengthwise tapering edges are straight.
7.
A connector strip as in claim 5, in which the pairs of upwardly extending flange portions associated with each tongue having said lengthwise tapering edges at each end
