ABSTRACT:
Methods and means are provided for detachably interconnecting electrical components in an electrical system located and used in a disadvantageous environment. An improved connector device is provided which is composed of spaced-apart metallic terminals embedded in a substantially rectangular body member and adapted to be electrically joined with leads in a cable or the like. One pin-end portion of each terminal is located in a sidewall recess in the body member, and the other socket-like end portion of the terminal projects into and through a plug-like extension from the body member opposite the sidewall recess containing the pin-like end portion. Two or more such connectors may be stacked together in a fluid-tight manner, by inserting the plug-like projections from the block of one connector into the sidewall recesses in the block portion of another connector, whereby the socket-like ends of the terminals in the first connector receive the pin-like ends of the terminals in the other block member, and also whereby any water or other electrically conductive fluid on the connections will be prevented from creating an electrically conductive path between the terminals therein.
