REDUCED STRESS ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical connector including a main body, a base portion, and a tapered end. The electrical connector extends axially in a first direction and an opposite second direction. The main body is configured to connect to an electrical cable. The base portion abuts the main body at a first end of the base portion and has an outer shoulder at a second end of the base portion. The tapered end extends and tapers from the outer shoulder in the second direction. The tapered end includes a plurality of resilient fingers separated by slots. The fingers extend away from the base portion in the second direction to a distal end of the fingers. The slots extend radially through the tapered end. The slots further extend axially in the first direction from the distal end through the outer shoulder.

1. An electrical connector extending axially in a first direction and an opposite second direction, the electrical connector comprising:
a main body configured to connect to an electrical cable; a base portion abutting the main body at a first end of the base portion and having an outer shoulder at a second end of the base portion, the base portion having an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the main body; and a tapered end extending and tapering from the outer shoulder of the base portion in the second direction, the tapered end comprising a plurality of resilient fingers separated by slots and extending away from the base portion in the second direction to a distal end of the resilient fingers, the slots extending radially through the tapered end, and the slots further extending axially in the first direction from the distal end of the resilient fingers through the outer shoulder of the base portion.
