NOVELTY - An electrical connector comprises: (a) a plug assembly (102) having a plug body (104) and an outer barrel (106) with an inner conductive receptacle (108) electrically coupled to a first conductor (110) in the plug body; (b) a socket assembly (120) having a socket body movably held within an outer housing (124) by a positioning ring (126); and (c) a locking feature to secure the socket assembly and the plug assembly in a coupled position.    USE - The electrical connector is useful for electrically connecting solar or photovoltaic modules to an electrical power grid or distribution network. It can be used for module-to-module connections, series string connections, or to connect a module to a 'bus' integrated in a mounting member, such as a rail.    ADVANTAGE - The electrical connector has the ability to provide a reliable and environmentally sealed electrical connection under circumstances in which there may be significant, axial misalignment between the uncoupled halves of the connector. The connector is particularly advantageous for use in situations in which the connection is not hand-accessible.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An electrical connector comprises: (a) a plug assembly (102) having a plug body (104) and an outer barrel (106) with an inner conductive receptacle (108) electrically coupled to a first conductor (110) in the plug body; (b) a socket assembly (120) having a socket body movably held within an outer housing (124) by a positioning ring (126), where the socket body has a socket barrel with a second conductor (136) fixed in it to be received in the inner conductive receptacle of the plug assembly, where the second conductor is electrically coupled to a third conductor through a flexible conductor (138), where the plug assembly and the socket assembly comprise alignment features to align the inner conductive receptacle and the second conductor during coupling of the socket assembly and the plug assembly; and (c) a locking feature to secure the socket assembly and the plug assembly in a coupled position, where the locking feature comprises a ratcheting mechanism to allow for a range of coupled positions, where the ratcheting mechanism includes a pair of tangs (148) extending from the socket body, where each tang has a hook that engages sloped teeth of the plug body.
