Abstract:
1. In combination: a) an elongate cable having a central axis and a receptacle with a radially inwardly facing conductive surface; and b) a connector assembly comprising: a body having a central axis and comprising: i) an insert portion with a wall having a radially inwardly facing surface and a radially outwardly facing conductive surface; and ii) a first connector in electrical contact with the radially outwardly facing conductive surface on the wall, the insert portion extended into the receptacle; and a biasing assembly configured to produce a resilient radial outward force against the radially inwardly facing surface of the wall so as to maintain the radially outwardly facing conductive surface of the wall in electrical contact with the radially inwardly facing conductive surface on the elongate cable to thereby maintain a conductive path between the radially inwardly facing conductive surface on the elongate cable and the first connector.
