Abstract
A connector assembly for insertion into a hollow portion of a tool, fixture, or housing. The connector assembly may have a connector having two terminated end portions for reducing assembly time and cost with on-site termination. The connector assembly may include a first outer body having a hollow portion for insertion of at least a portion of a first insert-assembly sleeve portion. The connector assembly may have at least one retaining portion extruding radially inward and configured to be positioned into at least one radially inward groove of the first insert-assembly sleeve portion for securing at least a portion of the first terminated end portion in the first outer body. With this assembly, one of the terminated end portions without an outer body may be passed through the hollow portion and then assembled to the corresponding outer body and reinserted into an end of the hollow portion.
