Abstract
A connector assembly is disclosed which serves both to mount a piezoelectric element at a distance from an electronic housing and to complete an electrical circuit between them. The preferred form is made part of a submersible sonic transducer which has a central housing for electronics which is surrounded by a baffle on which an array of piezoelectric staves are mounted. The connector permits plug-in replacement of piezoelectric elements in an arrangement that is especially rigid when assembled to insure effective operation of seals against the entry of sea water.
