Abstract
A connector having a male part and a matching female part, both parts are provided with mating faces extending essentially parallel to the plug-in direction and moving along each other when these parts mate with each other. One connector part is provided with one or more radially projecting collars which are sawtooth-shaped in cross-section and extend over the entire periphery of the mating face. The other connector part has a smooth surface extending over the entire periphery of the fitting face so that after the parts are plugged in, the outside edge of each collar rests in sealing fashion on the opposite smooth fitting face. The male part can be a supporting body for the contact elements of the connector and/or a contact element itself. The female part can be the housing of the connector and/or an aperture in the supporting body for receiving a contact element.
