Abstract
A modular, repairable aircraft ground power receptacle includes a base containing pin bases with outwardly opening sockets. Removable pins are secured in the sockets and a pin cover plate is placed there over with prong ends of pins extending through the pin cover plate for connection with a ground power plug. Damage pins may be removed and replaced without disconnecting aircraft power cables from the receptacle. Repair kits may include replacement pins and, optionally, replacement cover plates and related fasteners and tooling.
