Abstract
An electrical connector for an electromechanical device is provided. The connector includes a housing having a first and second ends and an axis extending longitudinally through the housing. The housing is adapted to be connectable to a surface, and the electromechanical device is disposable in the housing. A rotatable portion having first and second ends is rotatably connected to the housing. The second end of the rotatable portion is positioned adjacent to the first end of the housing along the axis. A fastener fastens the rotatable portion to the housing, and the rotatable portion is adapted to turn about the axis. First and second contacts are axially aligned with and radially disposed from the axis. One of the contacts are disposed on the second end of the rotatable portion and the other on the first end of the housing. The first contact is biased by the fastener into slidable electrical contact with the second contact.
