An electrical connector includes conductive male and female contacts and insulating inner and outer sleeves, and connects first and second electrical wires end-to-end. The contacts can be attached to corresponding conductors of the first and second wires. The male contact includes an elongated pin; the female contact includes a receptacle. Inserting the pin into the receptacle results in mechanical engagement of, and electrical continuity between, the assembled contacts. The assembled contacts can be positioned within the compressible inner sleeve, which extends beyond the ends of the assembled contacts. The inner sleeve, with the assembled contacts therein, can be positioned within the rigid outer sleeve, which extends at least as far as the inner sleeve. Compression of the inner sleeve by the ends of the outer sleeve frictionally engages the ends of the inner sleeve with the corresponding wires.

High-power electrical feeder connector

A low-profile, pivotable backshell adapter assembly having flexible arms that are independently adjustable to various angles for providing strain relief to cable bundles of different sizes. The flexible arms are spring-locked into position and are adjustable without the use of tools or the removal of components. And the flexible arms apply equal inward centering force on opposing sides of an accommodated cable.

Connector with spring-locked swing arms

A connector assembly comprises front and rear connector bodies, a wire grommet with wire passages, and a nut. Tightening the nut forces a rearward portion of the grommet into a tapered segment of a passage through the rear connector body and a forward portion of the rear connector body into a front passage of the front connector body, thereby radially compressing the grommet and sealing the wires passing therethrough.

Sealed electrical connector assembly

A termination ring for an electrical connector has slots for receiving multiple inner conductive shields of a cable. The shields pass through the slots, are folded back onto a rear portion of the termination ring, and are clamped onto the termination ring. After assembling a backshell onto the connector over the termination ring, a void remains between the interior surface of the backshell and the clamped inner conductive shields, thereby enabling proper mechanical engagement of the connector, termination ring, and backshell.
