ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly comprising first and second mateable connectors is disclosed herein. The first connector includes a collet having an expandable mouth in a concave interior, and the second connector includes a convex member, such as a sphere, which is substantially complementary in shape to the concave interior surface of the collet. The concave interior of the first connector, and the convex member of the second connector surround a male pin and female barrel connector, respectively. The male pin and female barrel mate when the convex member of the second connector is inserted into the concave interior of the first connector. Additionally, the collet is split along its longitudinal axis in order to form a plurality of collet fingers which are closeable by means of a collet which is movable along the outside surface of the collet. A water-tight seal between the male pin and the female barrel of the connectors is accomplished by an O-ring disposed in the mouth of the female barrel.
