ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly for coupling the end of one electrically conductive cable to another includes a connector front formed with a pair of oppositely disposed legs extending rearwardly from its front face, a terminal housing releasably lockably engageable by projections on the legs to form a connector body with electrical contacts therebetween and a connector housing releasably lockably engageable by a latching sear on the end of each leg for coupling the connector body to the connector housing. In addition, a collar member is threaded onto the other end of the connector housing with a chuck member positioned therebetween for tighteningly grasping the cable. Advantageously, the chuck member includes extensions adapted to be positioned behind each sear for preventing inadvertent disassembly of the connector body from the connector housing. Also advantageously, the terminal housing is formed with a slot extending radially outwardly from the center thereof, with one projecting surface adapted to abut the radially inward surface of the head of an elongate ground terminal screw and another projecting surface adapted to abut the radially outward surface of a flange formed on the grounding screw for retaining the ground screw which is threaded into a contact plate for moving toward another contact plate adapted to bear against a flange on the screw to enable termination of the ground conductor by inserting it into the spacing between contact plates and tightening the plates together by threading the grounding screw.
