Multi-piece jacket for separable connectors
First Claim
1. A jacket assembly for a separable connector, comprising:
- a cable entrance segment including a first bore extending axially through the cable entrance segment and sized to receive an insulated power cable;
a bushing interlace segment including;
a lug portion with a second bore that is sized to receive a portion of an insulative inner housing and a portion of a conductive insert for accepting a compression lug, anda probe portion with a third bore, oriented perpendicularly to the second bore, and sized to receive another portion of the insulative inner housing and another portion of the conductive insert for accepting a probe; and
a body segment including a fourth bore extending axially from a first end of the body segment to a second end of the body segment,wherein the body segment is connected to the cable entrance segment and the bushing interface segment in an overlapping manner so that the first bore, the second bore, and the fourth bore are axially aligned.

Abstract
A jacket assembly for a separable connector includes multiple pieces joined by an overlapping or interference fit. The multiple pieces include a body segment between a cable entrance segment and a bushing interface segment. The cable entrance segment includes a bore that extends axially through the cable entrance segment and is sized to receive an insulated power cable. The bushing interface segment includes a lug portion with another bore that is sized to receive a portion of an insulative inner housing and a portion of a conductive insert for accepting a compression lug. The bushing may also be configured to receive another portion of the insulative inner housing and another portion of a conductive insert for accepting a probe or bushing insert from another device. The body segment includes still another bore extending axially from a first end of the body segment to a second end of the body segment.
