ABSTRACT:
An electrical assembly for mechanically and electrically coupling lengths of cables having stripped ends. The assembly comprises two identically constructed, electrically conductive, eccentric terminals, each for receiving and terminating a stripped cable end to be coupled. A bayonet is formed on the front end of each terminal. Each bayonet includes a male and female attachment member adapted to be latched in contact with another like bayonet to form a rotatably disengagable hermaphroditic coupling which is rotatably disengagable. A leaf spring is attached to each terminal to releasably secure the bayonets together. Two identically constructed, electrically insulating housings and a separable sleeve formed of mating male and female sleeve portions shroud the terminals prior to coupling and attach together to provide a watertight enclosure for sealing the terminals during operation and use.
