Abstract
A connector for sealingly joining the ends of a pair of electrical cables which provides a reusable quick-disconnect metal-to-metal sealing joint. Without the use of elastomeric seals. The connector has a male housing encircling the marginal end portion of one cable, has a female housing encircling the marginal end portion of the other cable, and has a coupling for selectively drawing the two housings into sealing engagement with one another. Each housing is sealed to the outer surface of the associated cable. An insert, provided with a flexible tab, is snapped into each housing to maintain the spacing of the conductors from one another and from the housing.
