Electrical connector having transient suppression and front removable terminals

摘要

An electrical connector has a removable dielectric insert sized to fit within the forward opening of the connector shell with internal threads in the shell being threadably engaged by an external threads on a locking nut threadably inserted into the shell to abut the insert. A retaining ring is snapped into an annular recess of the insert to captivate the nut on the insert and provide a surface to aid in retraction of the insert. The terminals are two piece with a rearward portion being nonremovably retained within the shell and the forward portion having a circuit component thereon which can be replaced when the insert is removed.
