Abstract
Quick release interconnection of waveguide circuits terminated at least partially by a standard flange is achieved by rotation of a clamping ring which surrounds the first circuit termination and cooperates by means of outer grips with a groove in a base mounted on the second circuit. Tight engagement is obtained by means of protruding pins carried by a sleeve fastened to the first circuit guided by semicircular cams and locked in a recess in inclined spring guides carried by the inner face of the rotatable ring. Disengagement is obtained by rotating the ring counterwise. Fool proof interconnection is obtained by a unique means protruding from the standard flange and registering with a unique recess in said base.
