A liquid separator for a respiratory gas sample analyzer includes a closed container having a liquid trap filter chamber integral with the container. The liquid trap filter chamber includes an inlet compartment and an outlet compartment. The inlet compartment is interposed between a sample inlet port and a sample outlet port and includes a gas permeable, liquid impermeable filter element for separating liquid from a gas sample, the liquid separated from the gas sample passing to a collection chamber. The outlet compartment includes a further gas permeable, liquid impermeable trap filter element which is interposed between the collection chamber and a low pressure port, for preventing the flow of liquid through the output compartment to the low pressure port.

A power supply connector includes a cable receptacle, a front bulkhead insulator and a rear bulkhead insulator. The bulkhead insulators are mounted on the cable receptacle and the power supply chassis. At least one O ring is disposed between the front and rear bulkhead insulators, to seal out water. The front bulkhead insulator includes a stepped portion that mates with a stepped portion on the rear bulkhead insulator. The front bulkhead insulator provides an elongated path from the chassis to the cable receptacle. Also, an O ring is disposed between the cable receptacle and the front bulkhead insulator, to seal out water.
