  • Patent number: 12266891
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical connector housing configured to retain an electrical terminal. The first electrical connector housing has a first shroud surrounding the electrical terminal. The electrical connector assembly also includes a second electrical connector housing configured to retain a mating electrical terminal. The second electrical connector housing has a second shroud surrounding the mating electrical terminal that is configured to be received within the first shroud. The second electrical connector housing includes a circular band in which the first shroud is received. The circular band defines a gap therein and is configured to apply a circumferential clamping force to the first shroud when the gap is narrowed by a lateral force applied to the second electrical connector housing, thereby decreasing an effective internal diameter of the circular band.
