Abstract

A pair of complementary electrical connector members adapted to be electrically engaged with each other are formed with a housing having a contact element carrier located therein with a clamping sleeve within the housing having one end in abutting engagement with an end of the contact element carrier. The opposite end of the clamping sleeve extends axially beyond the housing and is formed with a tapered configuration about which there is engaged a clamping ring which is threadedly tightened about the housing to bring the clamping sleeve into engagement with the contact element carrier. The contact element carrier in each connector member is formed with elongated contact elements thereon which extend axially of the assembly and which have connector ends adapted to have electrical wires extending through the clamping sleeve connected thereto.
