Abstract
An improved environmentally sealed connector is disclosed. The connector includes mating members having bodies of semi-rigid dielectric material with a plurality of contact receiving cavities therein. A like plurality of seals are provided each inserted into a recessed rear end portion of a respective contact receiving cavity to effect seating engagement with both the member and the wires connected to the terminals mounted therein. A plurality of seals are preferably molded in a single sheet and are so spaced therein that they can be punched therefrom and inserted directly into the rear of the connector member contact receiving cavities. The seals allow easy replacement of the contacts without destroying the sealing characteristics. The connector members also include radially deformable locking means and sealing means at the mating faces.
