ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly includes two connector blocks that are coupled together by means of a jackscrew on one block that is screwed into a receiver on the other block. The jackscrew and receiver are formed from metal, while the remainder of the connector blocks are formed from a lower cost and lighter weight plastic. The receiver is held in place within a securing member in the second connector block, with the receiver and securing member having complimentary outer and inner polygon surfaces to keep the receiver from rotating. Axial receiver movement is prevented by a boss on the securing member that extends into a recess in the receiver, while the securing member is held against axial movement between a flange on one side and a securing cap on the other. The jackscrew is rotatably secured to the first connector block within a retainer that is held in place by sandwiching a portion of the connector block between a retainer flange and a securing cap that screws on over a threaded portion of the receiver. The jackscrew in turn has a flange that is lodged between the retainer and the cap to secure it against axial movement, while leaving it free to rotate.
