Abstract
An electrical connector for use on tractor-trailer vehicles includes a receptacle and plug. The receptacle housing has a thickened portion and ribs reinforcing the thickened portion to prevent deformation of the receptacle due to vibration of the attached cable. The receptacle housing has an extended body portion to provide a deeper support for an inserted plug. The plug uses non-rotatably mounted bushings to form the female connectors, which bushings are staked, one to another. A cable mounting collar is attached to the plug housing in such a manner that its mounting groove always faces in a downward direction to prevent moisture from passing into the connector plug.
