Abstract

A connector assembly for a thermal cutting system or welding system can include a housing having a locking device. The locking device can cause, upon application of a translational force, engagement of the connector assembly relative to a stationary receiving mechanism and can cause, upon application of a force on a contact member or a rotational moment on the contact member, disengagement of the locking device relative to the stationary receiving mechanism. The connector assembly can include a conduit disposed in the housing, the conduit carrying a gas to the thermal cutting system or welding system. The connector assembly can include a first current carrying member disposed in the housing, the first current carrying member carrying an operating current to the thermal cutting system or welding system and a second current carrying member disposed in the housing, the second current carrying member carrying a second current. A connector device with slidably locking mechanism. A connector device comprising means for locking out differently rated torches.
