ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector (10) for releasably connecting a plurality of first electrical wires with a plurality of second electrical wires. The connector (10) comprises a first connector half (12) comprising a first connector housing (14) provided with a wire cavity (16) for receiving the first electrical wires, the cavity (16) defining an elongated opening (17) and an aperture (20) for routing the first electrical wires into the cavity (16). The first connector half (12) further comprises a pin insulator (25), and a plurality of connector pins (24) mounted on the pin insulator (25). The connector (10) further comprises a second connector half (13) comprising a second connector housing (33) provided with a wire cavity (34) for receiving the second electrical wires, the cavity (34) defining an elongated opening (36) and an aperture (38) for routing the second electrical wires into cavity (34). The second connector half (13) further comprises a socket insulator (42 ) and a plurality of connector sockets (41) mounted on the socket insulator (42), the connector sockets (41) being positioned on the socket insulator (42) so as to register with and slidably receive the connector pins. A gasket member (64) for being secured between the first connector housing (14) and the second connector housing (33), and means for releasably locking the first connector half (12) and the second connector half (13) together are also provided.
