Abstract
To provide for electrical connection of electrical components through a rotating shaft in a manner facilitating assembly and disassembly of the connection for replacement of the components, a connector assembly is provided. The connector assembly includes an insert disposed within an insulator both of which are fixed within the rotating shaft in proximity to an opening therein, electrical terminals or contacts associated with each of the electrical components in spaced relation thereto, and a conductive bushing extending through the opening in the rotating shaft in electrically isolated relation thereto. Additionally, the connector assembly includes an externally threaded fastener for releaseably securing the electrical terminals or contacts and the conductive bushing to the insert in the insulator to electrically interconnect the electrical components in a manner accessible externally of the rotating shaft.
