Clamp cup to secure electrical connectors having first and second mating structures

摘要

A device comprises a connector support configured to receive and support a first electrical connector and comprising a first surface configured to face and attach to a housing wall and a second surface comprising first mating structure extending away from the housing wall; and a clamp cup configured to receive and at least partially surround a cable and a second electrical connector attached to the cable, the second electrical connector being configured to mate with the first electrical connector, the clamp cup comprising an outer surface and a second mating structure, the clamp cup being configured to removably fit over and attach to the connector support by mutual engagement of the first and second mating structures to mate the first and second electrical connectors and hold the mated first and second electrical connectors against the housing wall.

1. A device, comprising:
a connector support configured to receive and support a first electrical connector and comprising:
a first surface configured to face and attach to a housing wall;a second surface comprising a first mating structure comprising screw threads that extend away from the housing wall; anda third surface opposite the first surface, the third surface comprising an opening and a pair of through bores, the opening enabling the first electrical connector to be inserted through the opening in a first orientation, rotated and attached against the third surface in a second orientation with fasteners inserted through the pair of through bores; and a clamp cup configured to receive and at least partially surround a cable and a second electrical connector attached to the cable, the second electrical connector being configured to mate with the first electrical connector, wherein the clamp cup comprises:
an outer surface; anda second mating structure comprising screw threads configured to engage with the screw threads of the first mating structure, the clamp cup being configured to removably fit over and attach to the connector support by mutual engagement of the screw threads of the first mating structure with the screw threads of the second mating structure, which enables the second electrical connector to mate to the first electrical connector received in the connector support and enables the mated first and second electrical connectors to be held against the housing wall.
