Connector Assembly Having Self-Adjusting Male And Female Connector Elements

摘要

A connector assembly includes a male and a female connector element. The male connector element is having a first and a second portion configured by longitudinally bi-furcating the male connector element and includes a chamfered portion, a radially adjusting mechanism and a screw. The chamfered portion is axially configured on male connector element and receives the radially adjusting mechanism that moves the first and second portions relative to each other. The screw axially passes through male connector element and radially moves the radially adjusting mechanism to adjust the gap between the first and second portions to adjust external dimension of male connector element. The female connector element is having a tubular configuration that receives male connector element and is having a plurality of longitudinal slits configured thereon, walls of the female connector element are urged radially inwards towards the male connector element to maintain contact there-between by a spring element.

1. A connector assembly comprising:
a male connector sub-assembly comprising: a conductive male pin contact having a first and a second portion configured by longitudinally bifurcating said conductive male pin contact, said conductive male pin contact comprising: a chamfered portion axially configured on said conductive male pin contact; a radially adjusting mechanism received within said chamfered portion and adapted to move said first and second portions of said conductive male pin contact relative to each other; and an adjustment screw axially passing through said conductive male pin contact and adapted to interact with and radially move said radially adjusting mechanism to adjust the gap between said first and second portions to adjust the conductive male pin contact's external diameter; and an insulated cover body assembled over said conductive male pin contact; a female connector sub-assembly comprising: a conductive female sleeve contact having a tubular configuration adapted to receive said conductive male pin contact, said conductive female sleeve contact further having a plurality of longitudinal slits configured thereon, wherein walls of said conductive female sleeve contact are adapted to be urged radially inwards towards said conductive male pin contact received therein to maintain contact there-between by a spring element circumscribing said conductive female sleeve contact; and an insulated cover body assembled on said conductive female sleeve contact.
