Abstract:
An electrical cable coupling assembly including:a body having a first end configured for receiving a complementary coupling assembly and a second end configured for receiving an electrical cable having a plurality of cores;a plurality of conductive connectors each adapted to receive a a corresponding one of the cores at one end and a corresponding conductive connector member associated with the complementary coupling assembly at the other end to allow electrical connection between the corresponding core and the corresponding connector member, and releasable electrical connection between the corresponding core and a corresponding core in the complementary coupling assembly;a plurality of substantially tubular insulators each captively retained at least partially in the body and at least partially enveloping a corresponding one of the connectors;a first plate disposed at the first end of the body and coupled to the body and having a plurality of apertures each of which is in axial alignment with one of the insulators; anda second plate spaced from the first plate and disposed between the first and second ends of the body and coupled to the body and to the first plate and having a plurality of apertures each of which is in axial alignment with one of the insulators, each of the insulators being clamped at least partially between the first and second plates.
