Abstract
A dry-mate connector has nipples on the front or mating side of the electrical conductors on both the plug and receptacle units which cooperate with an elastomeric seal on the mating end of one of the units to provide an individual seal around each electrical circuit in the mated condition. In a hybrid version of the connector, an optical contact assembly is provided in each unit which has a multi-fiber ferrule at the mating end of the assembly, allowing a high contact density to be achieved in a relatively small space.
