Abstract
An electrical connection system connecting a flexible conduit to electrical conductors, comprising a conduit portion and a removably attachable base portion. The conduit portion retains an end of the conduit, via a retention mechanism within a first housing at a first end. The conduit portion comprises a first electrical connector housing and electrical terminals within a second end of the first housing. The base portion comprises a base mount and a second housing having a first end pivotably connected to the base mount, the second housing being pivotable at a joint. The base portion may also comprise a second electrical connector housing and electrical terminals within a second end of the second housing for electrical connection to the conduit portion. Mechanical fastening components of the base portion and the conduit portion enable a mechanical connection between the base portion and the conduit portion.
