Abstract
A method of fabricating a connector assembly for connecting a wire to a device of a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes providing a wire having a termination and providing a first shell having a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first passage extending from the first proximal end to the first distal end. The method further includes coupling the first shell to the wire such that the wire extends into the first passage through the first proximal end, wherein the first shell is displaceable along the wire relative to the termination.

A method of fabricating a connector assembly for connecting a wire to a device of a gas turbine engine, said method comprising:
- providing a wire having a termination;
- providing a first shell having a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first passage extending from the first proximal end to the first distal end;
- and
- coupling the first shell to the wire such that the wire extends into the first passage through the first proximal end, wherein the first shell is displaceable along the wire relative to the termination.
A connector assembly for connecting a termination of a wire to a device of a gas turbine engine, said connector assembly comprising:
- a first grommet structure configured to be coupled to the wire;
- and
- a first shell comprising a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first passage extending from said first proximal end to said first distal end, wherein said first shell is configured to be coupled to the wire such that the wire extends into said first passage through said first proximal end, said first shell configured to be displaceable along the wire relative to the termination and said first grommet structure from a first position in which said first grommet structure is disposed within said first passage to a second position in which said first grommet structure is exposed outside of said first passage.
A gas turbine engine comprising:
- a device;
- a wire comprising a termination;
- and
- a connector assembly operatively coupling said termination to said device, wherein said connector assembly comprises a first shell comprising:
- a first proximal end;
- a first distal end;
- and
- a first passage extending from said first proximal end to said first distal end, wherein said first shell is coupled to said wire such that said wire extends into said first passage through said first proximal end, said first shell displaceable along said wire relative to said termination.
