Abstract:
A stackable cable mount power connector includes a cover having a draw screw engagement pin and a connector shell having a bushing and an insert assembly positioned therein. A draw screw having a locking pin is positioned within the bushing. The bushing includes grooves for receiving the locking pin. The connector includes multiple primary contact pins having an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion of the primary contact pins is positioned within the bushing. The lower portion of the primary contact pins is positioned within the insert assembly. The upper portion of the primary contact pins is configured to receive secondary contact pins. The lower portion of the primary contact pins is configured to engage a power source. The connector also includes a stud positioned within the insert assembly. The stud includes slots for receiving the locking pin. When the cover is removed from the connector shell, the locking pin is positioned within the grooves of the bushing, and the draw screw is fixed within the connector and does not rotate. When the cover is attached to the connector shell, the draw screw engagement pin engages the draw screw, and can be rotated by a handle attached thereto. Attachment of the cover causes the locking pin to be positioned within the slots in the stud, and the draw screw is rotatable within the connector, thus allowing connection to a power source. The cover can be removed to allow a secondary connector to be coupled to the bushing.
