Abstract
A bracket assembly is provided which includes a connector housing and a mating bracket housing. The bracket housing mates with the connector housing in a first mode such that the bracket housing may engage the connector housing in a first locked position. The bracket housing may then be pivoted relative to the connector housing such that the bracket housing engages the connector housing in a second locked position. During such pivoting, the bracket housing bends a conductor that is coupled to the connector housing such that a first length of conductor extends in a first direction and a second length of conductor extends at an angle relative to the first length.
