  • Patent number: 9577362
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly that includes a first connector component that has a housing supporting at least one first exposed contact at an interface surface thereof and has a body portion for terminating a first cable. A second connector component is adapted to slidably receive the first component such that the components are mated and unmated in the same direction. The second component includes a housing supporting at least one second exposed contact at an interface surface thereof and has a body portion for terminating a second cable. When the first component is received in the second component, the components are mated such that the first exposed contact engages the second exposed contact, thereby forming a first electrical connection therebetween and a longitudinal axis of the first cable is spaced from and substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the second cable.

  • Publication number: 20140273583
    Abstract: A coupling that includes, a connector body, an interface coupling, a first collar coupled to the interface coupling that has a main body with an inner retaining member including a first set of teeth and a first engagement member, a second collar surrounding the first collar that has at least one second engagement member and is movable axially between a disengaged position when the first and second engagement members arc disengaged and an engaged position when the first and second engagement members are engaged, and a ratchet ring that is received inside of the first collar, that has a second set of teeth, and that is axially moveable with respect to the connector body between a locked position when the first and second sets of teeth are engaged and an unlocked position when the first and second sets of teeth are spaced from one another.

  • Patent number: 7914311
    Abstract: A connector coupling that comprises a connector body, a first collar rotatably coupled to the connector body that has a plurality of teeth extending from an inner surface thereof, a second collar that receives the first collar and is movable axially with respect to the first collar. A ratchet ring is supported by the connector body and has a plurality of teeth corresponding to the plurality of teeth of the first collar. The ratchet ring is axially moveable with respect to the connector body between an engaged position and a disengaged position. A biasing member is supported by the connector body adjacent the ratchet ring. The biasing member biases the ratchet ring in the engaged position.

  • Patent number: 7905741
    Abstract: A connector coupling that comprises a connector body, a first collar coupled to the connector body, and a second collar surrounding the first collar. The first collar has a plurality of locking members. The second collar is rotatable with respect to the first collar between first and second positions. A ratchet ring is supported by the connector body and has a plurality of locking members corresponding to the plurality of locking members of the first collar. The ratchet ring being axially movable with respect to the connector body between an engaged position and a disengaged position. A biasing member is supported by the connector body adjacent the ratchet ring. The biasing member biases the ratchet ring in the engaged position.

  • Patent number: 7837495
    Abstract: A backshell assembly that includes a housing configured to terminate a cable. The housing has a main body defining a central longitudinal axis, a connector interface for mating with an electrical connector, and at least one adjustment extension extending from the main body opposite the connector interface and substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis. An adjustable strain relief structure is coupleable to the cable and the housing. The adjustable strain relief structure including at least one adjustment member cooperating with the adjustment extension of the housing such that the adjustment member is pivotable between different cable positions with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the housing. A movable locking member is coupleable with the adjustment extension of the housing and the adjustment member of the adjustable strain relief structure to releasably lock the adjustment member in a selected cable position with respect to the housing.

At least one adjustment extension extends from the main body opposite the connector interface and substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis. An adjustable strain relief structure is coupleable to the cable and the housing. The adjustable strain relief structure includes at least one adjustment member coupleable to the cable that cooperates with the adjustment extension of the housing such that the adjustment member is moveable between different cable positions with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the housing. A biasing member is disposed between the at least one adjustment member and the at least one adjustment extension of the main body. The biasing member biases the at least one adjustment member into engagement with the at least one adjustment extension.

  • Publication number: 20090130894
    Abstract: A backshell assembly for mating with an electrical connector that includes a housing configured to terminate a cable. The housing has a main body defining an inner bore and a central longitudinal axis. The housing receives the cable in the inner bore along the central longitudinal axis. The main body includes a connector interface for mating with an electrical connector. The cable has a shielding braid with a terminal end. The terminal end is folded over the connector interface of the housing allowing direct contact with a connector shell of the electrical connector.
