Abstract: A coaxial electrical cable assembly includes a central conductor disposed within a shield conductor of the coaxial cable and a shield terminal having a tubular portion. The central conductor of the coaxial cable is disposed within the tubular portion. The tubular portion is disposed within the shield conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial electrical cable assembly also includes a first outer ferrule crimped that is around the shield conductor of the coaxial cable and forms a first seam. The coaxial electrical cable assembly further includes a second outer ferrule that is crimped around the first outer ferrule and forms a second seam. The first seam and the second seam are radially offset from one another.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an integrally formed cylindrical housing and a cylindrical spring lock retainer disposed within a cavity in the housing and defining a spring member and a terminal lock. The electrical connector further includes an annular ridge protruding from inner walls of the housing into the cavity and a plurality of spring lock retainer stops extending from the inner walls into the cavity and arranged around a circumference of the spring lock retainer. The annular ridge is arranged on a first end of the spring lock retainer and the plurality of spring lock retainer stops are arranged on a second end of the spring lock retainer opposite the first end. A method of manufacturing such an electrical connector is also presented.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical connector housing configured to retain an electrical terminal. The first electrical connector housing has a first shroud surrounding the electrical terminal. The electrical connector assembly also includes a second electrical connector housing configured to retain a mating electrical terminal. The second electrical connector housing has a second shroud surrounding the mating electrical terminal that is configured to be received within the first shroud. The second electrical connector housing includes a circular band in which the first shroud is received. The circular band defines a gap therein and is configured to apply a circumferential clamping force to the first shroud when the gap is narrowed by a lateral force applied to the second electrical connector housing, thereby decreasing an effective internal diameter of the circular band.
