Abstract
The electric multi-contact connector consists of twin half-housings. Each half-housing carries a plurality of contact holders independently mounted in spaced-apart relationship on a multi-bore base. The prong-end of each contact is resiliently supported by its holder and makes a water-tight joint therewith. When the two half-housings are moved into latching engagement, each pair of mating prong-ends of the opposite connector half-housings inosculate. Each prong-end is preferably serrated to improve the conductivity between each mating pair of prong-ends under adverse operating conditions.
