Embodiment Construction

[0016] 1 and 3A depict an exemplary electrical connector 10 in accordance with the present invention. The electrical connector 10 includes a receptacle 12 and a plug 14 that can be selectively coupled together to provide a reliable electrical connection. The receptacle 12 includes a generally tubular housing 16 having a first end 18 , a second end 20 and an axial bore 22 extending between the first end 18 and the second end 20 . At a location intermediate the first end 18 and the second end 20, a mounting flange 24 extends radially outward from the housing 16 for securing the receptacle housing 16 to a bulkhead 26 of the article of electrical component. Holes 28 are provided in the mounting flange 24 for securing the receptacle 12 to the bulkhead 26 using screws 30 or other fasteners.

[0017] Wires 32 from the electrical components extend from the second end 20 into the bore 22 and connect to one or more electrical contacts 34 located within the bore 22 of the receptacle hou...

Abstract

An electrical connector includes a receptacle and a plug. The receptacle includes a tubular housing having an axial bore and at least one electrical contact within the bore. The plug is received in the bore of the receptacle housing and includes a tubular core having an axial bore and at least one electrical contact that engages the electrical contact on the receptacle when the plug is coupled tothe receptacle. The plug further includes a rotatable collar for securing the plug to the receptacle. A visual indicator on at least one of the plug core or the receptacle housing is visible through a window in the collar to provide a visual indication when the plug is fully coupled to the receptacle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly to electrical connectors for high voltage applications. Background technique [0002] Electrical connectors are used in a variety of applications to facilitate power and data transfer between components of an electrical system. A conventional electrical connector includes a plug portion and a socket portion that can be coupled together to provide a secure connection for leads extending between the components. Each of the plug and receptacle portions includes one or more electrical contacts in the form of pins or other structures. Solder, crimp, or otherwise connect electrical contacts to individual leads. In some applications, such as ultraviolet curing equipment or other industrial equipment, power is provided through cables coupled to the equipment by high voltage electrical connectors. In these applications, it is important to ensure that the electrical contacts are ful...
