ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly includes an electrical connector and a sleeve. The electrical connector has opposite first and second ends. The first end is rotatable with respect to the second end and configured to couple to a mating connector. The second end is configured to terminate a cable. The sleeve is molded over the first end such that the sleeve is fixed to the first end, and the sleeve and the first end of the connector together rotate with respect to the second end of the connector. Also, the sleeve has an outer gripping surface.
