Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly for use in a solar generator, comprising:a first tubular insulating resin housing comprising an outer tubular portion comprising a first axially corrugated outer surface, said first axially corrugated outer surface having a first outer shape, and an inner tubular portion comprising a first axially corrugated inner surface, said first axially corrugated inner surface having a first inner shape, wherein said first axially corrugated outer surface and said first axially corrugated inner surface are annular and are spaced from one another so as to provide an annular groove in said first tubular insulating resin housing, wherein said annular groove has a first axial end, a second axial end, an axial depth, and a radial width that varies as a function of said axial depth; and wherein the radial width of said first end of the annular groove is greater than the radial width of said second end of said annular groove; a second tubular insulating resin housing comprising an annular tip, said annular tip being adapted to be inserted into said annular groove, said annular tip comprising a second axially corrugated outer surface, said second axially corrugated outer surface having a second outer shape, and a second axially corrugated inner surface, said second axially corrugated inner surface having a second inner shape, wherein said first outer shape and said second outer shape are complementary with each other, and wherein said first inner shape and said second inner shape are complementary with each other; a first terminal located in said first tubular insulating resin housing; and a second terminal located in said second tubular insulating resin housing, said second terminal being adapted to contact said first terminal when said annular tip is inserted into said annular groove.
