Abstract
A connector assembly comprises front and rear connector bodies, a wire grommet with wire passages, and a nut. Tightening the nut forces a rearward portion of the grommet into a tapered segment of a passage through the rear connector body and a forward portion of the rear connector body into a front passage of the front connector body, thereby radially compressing the grommet and sealing the wires passing therethrough.
