ABSTRACT:
An interchangeable electrical connector includes a connector body and an adapter body. The connector body includes electrical contact means, such as a banana plug tip, for engaging an electrical terminal. The connector body includes a conical portion and a threaded portion which is coaxial with the conical portion. The adapter body includes a conical portion which is shaped for co-operative engagement with the conical portion of the connector body, and a threaded portion which is coaxial to the conical portion of the adapter body. The threaded portion of the adapter body is for cooperative engagement with the threaded portion of the connector body, such that cooperative rotation of the connector body relative to the adapter body draws the conical portion of the connector body into engagement with the conical portion of the adapter body. The wedging action of the two conical portions frictionally engages the connector body to the adapter body.
