Abstract
A connector comprises first and second connector halves, each having a housing with a mainly circular cross section. The first connector half is matable with the second connector half by means of a rotatable coupling ring surrounding the first housing. In the coupled position an axially extending ring-shaped section of the second housing lies within the coupling ring. The first housing at least along a part of its axial length is received in a boot of elastic, resilient material, the boot being provided with a circumferential slot, in which a radially projecting inner edge of the coupling ring is received freely rotatably. In the coupled position a front sealing part of the boot is sealingly compressed against the axially extending ring-shaped section edge of the second housing.
