ABSTRACT:
A connector for interconnecting two conductors comprises a plug component for mating engagement with a receptacle component. The plug component has a conductor means therein and a first elastomeric sealing membrance covering the mating end thereof to seal the same, the sealing membrane having a slit therein. The receptacle component includes conductor receiving means therein and a second elastomeric sealing membrane covering the mating end thereof to seal the same. The second sealing membrane also has a slit therein, the slits in each of the sealing membranes being positioned to register upon mating engagement of the plug and receptacle components. The connector further includes displacement means operable upon the mating engagement of the plug and receptacle components to stretch the first and second sealing membranes in a direction transverse to the slits to open the slits to permit the passage of the conductor means therethrough during engagement and disengagement of the components. The displacement means is also operable upon disengagement of the components to relax the first and second sealing membranes to close the slits.
