Electrical connector for end to end connection
An electrical connector is provided and includes a cover member and a connector bushing. The connector bushing is partially encased and movable in the cover member and having an electrical conductor section.
1. An electrical connector, comprising:
a cover member having a smooth outer surface; and
a connector bushing partially encased and movable in the cover member and having an electrical conductor section, the cover member supported on the connector bushing using a bearing pin that corresponds to a bearing receiving passageway.
2. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member is tubular.
3. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the cover member includes a pair of shells that engage each other.
4. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing pin is disposed on an inner surface of the cover member.
5. An electrical connector according to claim 4 , wherein the bearing receiving passageway includes a circular cavity or an elongated groove.
6. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connector bushing includes an inner surface having a roughened structure.
7. An electrical connector according to claim 6 , wherein the roughened structure includes a plurality of circumferential incisions forming a zigzag shape along a length of the inner surface.
8. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein the connector bushing includes a threaded fastener receiving passageway.
9. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a protrusion disposed on an inner surface of the cover member.
10. An electrical connector according to claim 9 , wherein the protrusion includes a plurality of ribs.
11. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein distal ends of the connector bushing and the cover member are flush to each other.
12. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a tubular sleeve covering the cover member and having an insulating layer and a conductive layer embedded in the insulating layer.
13. An electrical connector according to claim 12 , wherein the conductive layer includes a ring shaped Faraday cage surrounding the cover member.
14. An electrical connector according to claim 13 , wherein the conductive layer includes a ring deflector positioned adjacent to a distal end of the cover member.
15. An electrical connector according to claim 1 , wherein a clearance is formed between the connector bushing and the cover member.
