ABSTRACT:
In a separable electrical connector for high voltage applications which includes a pulling eye enabling the connector to be gripped by a "hotstick" tool for engaging and disengaging the connector relative to a mating part, the pulling eye is provided with resilient, rubber-like ears for biasing the operating surface of the hotstick away from the pulling surface of the pulling eye. The resilient means is positioned alongside the pulling surface of the eye so that it is not interposed directly between the operating surface of the hotstick and the pulling surface of the eye. The resilient means provides resiliency in the engagement between the hotstick and the connector to assure that a secure grip and proper alignment are maintained. The resilient means eliminates undesirable slack and wobble in the engagement of the hotstick with the connector.
