CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH DIRECT MOUNT HOUSING
First Claim
1. A connector assembly, comprising:
- a housing defining a cavity configured to receive a coaxial electrical terminal;
the housing having a first end an a second end opposite the first end, and a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
the first side and second side having opposed locking ribs;
the coaxial electrical terminal having a wire end and a terminal end oriented orthogonal to the wire end;
whereinwhen the housing engages a corresponding mounting bracket, locking arms extending from the corresponding mounting bracket impart a retention force on the opposed locking ribs and inhibit a rotation of the housing about a mating axis of the coaxial electrical terminal.

Abstract
A connector assembly includes a housing. The housing defines a cavity configured to receive a coaxial electrical terminal. The housing has a first end an a second end opposite the first end. The housing also has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side and second side have opposed locking ribs. The coaxial electrical terminal has a wire end and a terminal end oriented orthogonal to the wire end. When the housing engages a corresponding mounting bracket, locking arms extending from the corresponding mounting bracket impart a retention force on the opposed locking ribs and inhibit a rotation of the housing about a mating axis of the coaxial electrical terminal.
