An electrical connector assembly comprises a connector shell configured to interface with a mating connector shell, a coupling member configured to receive the connector shell and having an internal thread engaging the mating connector shell, and a retaining member configured to retain the connector shell in the coupling member. The connector shell has a plurality of ratchet teeth and defines a longitudinal axis. The plurality of ratchet teeth form a first ratchet ring and a second ratchet ring around the connector shell.

An electrical heater and method includes heating member, a cable, and a connector. A resistance heating element is within a sheath of the heating member. A proximal end of the sheath is inserted into a slot of a first fitting and welded to the first fitting with first and second leads extending into the first fitting. The second fitting is threadably engaged with the first fitting. The second fitting defines a central bore disposed about the axis. An end of a power cable extends into the second central bore. A first wire is coupled to the first lead. A second wire is coupled to the second lead.
