Abstract
A modular driveline includes a modular portion including a cable and a connector, the cable having terminations, and a percutaneous portion including a cable and a connector, the cable having terminations. The percutaneous portion connector couples to the modular portion connector, and cable terminations at the connectors are captured in the connectors by potting. The cable can include an inner member, conductors disposed about the inner member, a covering about the conductors, a layer extruded onto the covering, an armor braid over the extruded layer, and an outer jacket extruded over the armor braid.

9. A connector comprising,
a housing that houses one or more electrical contacts; - and
a nut captured about the housing and non-threadedly, rotatably and axially movable relative to the housing, the nut including an element that engages an outer surface of the housing such that there is differential resistance to rotation of the nut depending on the direction of rotation, the nut configured to affix the connector to a second connector, wherein axial movement of the nut relative to the housing permits electrical connection between the connector and the second connector prior to the nut affixing the connectors. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
