A connector that receives a threaded apparatus and reduces stresses induced from
the treaded apparatus into the connector is described. The connector includes a
top side, a bottom side, and an opening that extends therethrough. The opening
is defined by an inner surface that includes a threadform including a plurality
of threads. The threads extend radially outward from the inner surface into the
connector opening and include a first thread portion and a cutback that extends
through a portion of the threadform. The cutback facilitates less stresses being
induced into the first thread portion.
