Self-seating connector adapter

摘要

A self-seating backshell includes a backshell body, a coupling ring, and a spring. The backshell body has a first plurality of teeth. The coupling ring is mounted on the backshell body for coupling the backshell body to an electrical connector. The electrical connector has a second plurality of teeth. The first plurality of teeth are arranged to seat against the second plurality of teeth. A spring retains the coupling ring on the backshell body and biases the first plurality of teeth into seating engagement against the second plurality of teeth even though the first plurality of teeth initially are not properly seated against the second plurality of teeth.
