Abstract
An electronic device of the type including a threaded female connector adapted to mate with a cable connector including a housing, a female connector extending from the housing, and a circuit board positioned within said housing and having a first presoldered conductor wire extending therefrom toward the female connector. The electronic device further includes a collet assembly positioned within a bore of the threaded female connector, wherein the collet assembly comprises a generally cylindrical insulating body having a first end and an opposed second end, an electrically conductive collet contact passing through the insulating body and having a first end proximate the first end of the insulating body and a second end proximate the second end of the insulating body. The first end of the collet contact includes a first gripping member for gripping an external conductor wire introduced into the female connector bore, and the second end of the collet contact includes a second gripping member for gripping the first presoldered conductor wire.
