a connector body component for a connector assembly in which the connector body component has a plurality of independent body segments secured together to form a single assembly . the connector body segments are held together within a housing member and may include interlocking structures on wall surfaces thereof . forming the connector body in independent segments allows one body segment to be replaced in the event of damage to the connector body or one conductive element held in the connector body , thus eliminating the need to replace the entire connector body . this saves significant time and expense when repairing or modifying a connector body having a plurality of independent conductors coupled to it .
