<p>Disclosed is an alignment tube segment (47) which when interfitted with its identical counterpart forms an alignment tube for precisely maintaining a pair of contact bushings (111) on a single axis. The tube segments (47) are identical and, when interfitted, constitute an alignment tube having a single longitudinal axis. Each tube segment includes a pair of axially spaced-apart, parallel end walls (52) and (56), at which the segments (47) abut when they are interfitted. When the pair of connectors 13 are initially engaged, their contact bushings (111) abut before their respective tube segments (47) are fully interfitted. This is depicted in FIG. 15. As additional pressure is exerted on the connectors (13) to force them into engagement, the tube segments (47) slide toward full engagement, with their front inclined surfaces (56) approaching their rear inclined surfaces (52).</p> |
