Abstract
An electrical connector with an annular continuous metal to metal seal between the two connector shells includes a cylindrical first shell with an annular radially disposed sealing surface, a cylindrical second shell for being inserted into and clamped to the first shell, a frusto-conical ring attached about a peripheral region of the second shell and having an annular mating edge which is positioned to face the sealing surface of the first shell, and a coupling ring with a bayonet coupling apparatus for clamping the first and second shells into coupling relationship with each other. The positioning of the frusto-conical ring on the second shell is such that when the first and second shells are in the fully mated position, the peripheral mating edge region of the frusto-conical ring will press against the sealing surface of the first shell to form a continuous annular metal to metal seal between the first shell and the second shell.
