Abstract
A plug having a screw-down feature to securely connect to a socket of fixed, existing design. The plug includes flanges with screw receiving bores. Plug screws inserted through the bores deliver a coupling force for a variable compression seal that makes the connection waterproof. The screw-down connection includes upgrading the existing socket machine screws to a socket retaining member. The screw-down feature prevents the plug from accidentally disconnecting from the socket.
