ROTARY CONNECTOR HAVING REMOVABLE AND REPLACEABLE CONTACTS

摘要

A connector that includes a male connector assembly having a nose portion that removably fits within an axial cavity in a female connector assembly and which has removable, replaceable contacts. The connector assemblies are constructed for attachment to equipment and instrumentation in wet or dry environments. Each connector assembly may include a plurality of conductors that are constructed for attachment to conductors in the equipment and instrumentation. Each conductor in the male connector assembly is matched with a conductor in the female connector assembly for transmission of a signal therethrough. Electrical contacts within the connector assemblies provide individual contact of the matching conductors. Insulators separate and insulate the electrical contacts from one another.
