Claims20
A whip system comprising:
- a base component comprising a first electrical connector disposed in a base housing and one or more wires coupled to the first electrical connector and routed through the base housing;
- a collar component comprising a second electrical connector disposed in a collar housing and configured to electrically couple with the first electrical connector, wherein the whip system comprises one or more features configured to align the base component with the collar component;
- and
- a whip component configured to couple to the one or more wires via the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector.
A whip system comprising:
- a base component comprising:
- a base housing comprising an outer side surface forming an outer feature;
- and
- a first electrical connector disposed in the base housing;
- and
- a collar component comprising:
- a collar housing comprising an inner side surface forming an inner feature;
- and
- a second electrical connector disposed in the collar housing, wherein the outer feature and the inner feature are configured to align the first electrical connector with the second electrical connector.
A base component of a whip system, the base component comprising:
- a base housing comprising an outer side surface that has a substantially curved portion and a substantially planar portion;
- a first electrical connector disposed in the base housing;
- and
- one or more wires routed through the base housing, a first distal end of the one or more wires being coupled to the first electrical connector, a second distal end of the one or more wires being coupled to a vehicle electrical connector, wherein the substantially planar portion of the outer side surface of the base housing is configured to align the first electrical connector with a second electrical connector of a collar component of the whip system.
