Abstract
A cable connector for assembly and mounting on a front section of a housing of a power wrench is arranged to connect at least one operation parameter sensor of the power tool to a multi-core cable. The cable connector includes a multi-contact cable connector plug carried on the multi-core cable, and a one-piece mounting member which is made of an elastically resilient material and which is secured to the front section of the housing and supports a multi-contact jack. The multi-contact cable connector plug includes a coupling sleeve formed with an internal thread, and the mounting member includes an open ring portion to be mounted around the front section of the housing and a tubular coupling portion extending laterally from the ring portion. The tubular coupling portion is divided along an axial plane into two halves, which together forming: (i) an internal socket for receiving and retaining the multi-contact jack, and (ii) an external thread for co-operating with the internal thread of the coupling sleeve upon interconnection of the cable connector plug and the mounting member. The ring portion and the tubular coupling portion halves are elastically expandable to facilitate assembly of the cable connector.
