Robert George Bray - Webster NY

Assignee:

Harris Corporation - Melbourne FL

International Classification:

H01R 1224

US Classification:

439499

Abstract:

A watertight connector assembly includes a flat, flexible electrical cable completely encased in an elastomer coating, except at predetermined access openings configured to provide access to the cable. The access openings are defined by O-ring type seals formed in the coating on the surfaces of the cable near each end of the cable. Strain reliefs are positioned within the O-ring type seals. Electrical connectors are positioned within the access openings and configured to provide electrical coupling to the cable and to an external device. Compression pads are positioned adjacent the cable opposite the side of the cable having the electrical connector positioned adjacent thereto. This connector assembly is capable of withstanding harsh environments in compliance with environmental and vibration military specifications.

Abstract:

A retention clamp includes a shaft having a stop member and a first threaded portion, the first threaded portion including a left hand thread. A clamping member is threadably connected to the first threaded portion. A biasing member positioned between the stop member and the clamping member transfers a rotational force applied to the shaft to the clamping member to rotate the clamping member into an engagement position. An indexing member can be slidably received over the first threaded portion and positioned between the stop member and the clamping member. The indexing member is frictionally engageable with the clamping member so indexing member rotation rotates the clamping member. Both the indexing member and the clamping member can include meshable ratchet teeth to assist clamping member rotation. Legs extending transversely from the biasing member can positively engage the stop portion and the indexing member.
