CONNECTOR SYSTEM WITH MODULAR SOCKET ASSEMBLY

摘要

CONNECTOR SYSTEM WITH MODULAR SOCKET INSERT ASSEMBLY A modular socket insert assembly is described, which can fit into the male ends of two substantially identical connectors to connect them, wherein the socket insert assembly can be easily taken apart in the field for cleaning or replacement of a damaged socket. The socket insert assembly includes a pair of insulators having inner ends that substantially abut one another and having aligned holes for holding a group of separate socket modules. The hole in each insulator is wide at the inner end of the insulators where they abut one another, and is narrowed at the outer ends of the insulators, to trap a socket module in place.
