<p>FLEXIBLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY An electrical connector and cable assembly comprising a predetermined length of cable and a pair of opposed flexible connector sections at each end thereof adapted to be separably engaged respectively with corresponding flexible connector sections on other connector cable assemblies to form an electrical cable of required size. Each opposed flexible connector section includes electric contact members connected to a live conductor or a plurality of live conductors in its associated cable with the contact members being adapted to engage complementary contact members in a connector section associated with another cable to form a connector assembly therebetween when the sections are matingly engaged thereby joining the live conductors together. A flexible ground strap is spirally wound or wrapped about the complementary engaged sections after joinder thereof, the strap being disposed within a complementary spiral recess in the encasement formed by the engaged sections, and is then connected at each of its ends to the respective ground conductors in each section through corresponding terminals seated within the spiral recess.</p> |
