Use of Crushable Connector Interface

摘要

A connector is disclosed. The connector includes a conductive housing. The conductive housing includes a wall region enclosing a space for receiving an adapter. The conductive housing also includes an annular end piece extending radially inward from a first end of the wall region and terminating the space. The annular end piece includes a flat annular surface, and a raised deformable annulus mounted on the flat annular surface. The raised deformable annulus is of a height such that an insertion of the adapter into the space deforms the raised deformable annulus to generate a physical contact connection between the flat annular surface and the adapter.

主权项

1. A method for forming a connection, comprising:
inserting an adapter into a receiving connector; deforming through contact with the adapter a raised deformable annulus mounted on a flat annular surface of an annular end piece extending radially inward from a first end of a threaded wall region of the receiving connector by rotating the adapter within the receiving connector; and conducting current across a physical contact connection between the flat annular surface and the adapter, wherein the physical contact connection is generated by the deforming.
