Claim:
1. An integrated electrical harness and connector comprising a male annulus with a substantially planar annular top surface, an outer cylindrical surface with a defined outer diameter, an inner cylindrical surface with a defined inner diameter, a substantially planar annular top surface, a substantially planar annular bottom surface with a plurality of cylindrical, electrically conductive, connector pins, and a locating feature; a female annulus with a substantially planar annular bottom surface, an outer cylindrical surface with a defined outer diameter; an inner cylindrical surface with a defined inner diameter, and a substantially planar annular top surface with connector receptacles, equal in number and alignment to the pins in the male annulus; a piece of rigid conduit, designated the male conduit, durably bonded to the male annulus, containing discrete electrical connections to each pin of the male annulus; a piece of rigid conduit, designated the female conduit, durably bonded to the female annulus, containing discrete electrical connections to each receptacle of the female annulus; wherein the male annulus can be connected securely to the female annulus through the use of a threaded fastener, wherein the threaded fastener comprises at least a screw-head, a shaft, and threads, and wherein the threaded fastener is driven down the inner cylindrical surface of the male annulus and the inner cylindrical surface of the female annulus, making the appropriate electrical connections between the pins and receptacles and, therefore, between the electrical wires of the male conduit and the female conduit.
