A method for converting an electrical connector to provide an insulated opening, comprising the steps of:
- providing an electrical connector comprising a conductive block having at least one cavity having an upwardly oriented opening and a closed bottom, and an insulating outer coating at least partially surrounding the block;
- forming a hole through the bottom;
- and
- positioning an insulative sleeve through the cavity and the hole so as to provide an insulated passage extending through the electrical connector, wherein the insulative sleeve further comprises a shoe positioned to extend radially over a bottom surface of the insulating outer coating of the block.
