ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment a self-contained seizure mechanism comprises a plunger, a spring, and a retainer guide having means for movably securing the plunger to the retainer guide. The retainer guide may have a receiving slot for receiving wings of the plunger and fingers for retaining the wings to the retainer guide and archways to guide a stinger conductor into contact with a crown of the plunger. The plunger and retainer may be snap-fit together to provide a seizure assembly that may be dropped in a receiving hole of a node housing and positioned to engage a stinger conductor and urge the stinger conductor into contact with a connector button on a lock nut.
