Abstract
An electrical connector assembly is disclosed. A rectangular plug and rectangular receptacle engage to provide a sealed and durable connector. The electrical connector assembly provides electric, fluid, data and other suitable information suitable for surgical, medical or other device applications. A latch is used to secure the plug with the receptacle and prevent the plug from being easily removed from the receptacle. The connector is substantially sealed to prevent fluid, dust particles and/or other matter from entering the components and damaging the connector assembly.
