Abstract

See full text

An electrical assembly includes a backshell having a coupling nut defining a cavity and a cable follower received in the cavity and extending rearward from the coupling nut. The cable follower has a plurality of rearward extending spring fingers extending to distal ends and being tapered inward to the distal ends to define a generally conical shaped cable channel configured to receive a cable. The spring fingers are deflectable and are spring biased against the cable in different radial directions to provide a clamping force against the cable and to substantially center the cable in the cable channel. The electrical assembly includes a retention feature coupled between the cable follower and the coupling nut allowing the coupling nut to be rotatably coupled to the cable follower such that the coupling nut is rotatable relative to the cable.
