A receptacle connector includes an outer housing, an inner housing, and an interface seal. The outer housing defines a cavity configured to receive a plug connector through a mating opening of the outer housing. The inner housing is disposed within the cavity of the outer housing. The inner housing holds a contact subassembly that is connected to a cable. The inner housing includes a sleeve that surrounds a mating section of the contact subassembly. The sleeve is spaced apart from an interior surface of the outer housing by an annular gap. The interface seal is on an outer surface of the sleeve. The interface seal engages an inner surface of a nose of the plug connector within the annular gap to seal an interface between the sleeve of the inner housing and the nose of the plug connector.

Sealed connector system

A connector sub-assembly includes a dielectric carrier, plural signal conductors, and a ground frame. The dielectric carrier is defined by first and second overmolded bodies that engage one another at an overmold interface. An intermediate segment of each signal conductor is encased within the dielectric carrier. The ground frame is held between the first and second overmolded bodies at the overmold interface. The ground frame includes a ground bus bar encased within the dielectric carrier and plural ground conductors extending from the ground bus bar. The second overmolded body is formed in-situ on an inner side of the first overmolded body. An inner side of the second overmolded body at the overmold interface is partially defined by a profile of the inner side of the first overmolded body and partially defined by the ground frame.

Overmolded connector sub-assembly

An electrode assembly for a sensor catheter tip includes a first electrode and a second electrode each having a central axis. The two electrodes are axially aligned and spaced apart along the axis. Each of the first and second electrodes comprises a contact aperture spaced from the center axis, and a contact element positioned within each of the contact apertures. The center axis of each of the first and second electrodes is substantially aligned, and the contact elements corresponding to each of the first and second electrodes are offset, thereby providing staggered contact points for each respective electrode.

An electrical connector (12) including an insulative body (14) defining at least one row of terminal sites (36) containing respective terminals (40), the body (14) defining a connection face (16) and an opposed face (18) extending between opposed first and second sides (20, 28). At least one of the first and second sides (20, 28) defines a web (22, 30) between adjacent ones of all the terminals sites (36), whereby each web (22, 30) is adapted to be easily removed to define a corresponding keyway (26, 34). The connector (12) is thereby programmable to correspond with a complementary keyed electrical article (50).
