  • Connector and cable with torque-limiting features
    Patent number: 9997875
    Abstract: A connector includes separate portions that rotatably couple together and form a connector. The portions include elements for defining cavities and or slots therebetween that accept one or more shear elements, such as shear pins for the purposes of coupling the separate portions together in forming a unitary connector. The connector might be used between a cable and another connector or could form part of the connector on a cable. The shear element is configured for engaging the various portions and spanning across the interface for joining the portions together. The shear element is configured for breaking when a sufficient torque force is applied between the connector portions.
