ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided in which one of the connecting members includes a mating section with a radial face of relatively soft metal disposed around an entry aperture and protected by a shroud member extending axially towards the other member to form an enlarged opening and internally having rotational coupling surfaces such as screw threads for coupling the members, the other other connecting member including a sleeve of harder metal housing at least one insulated contact hermetically mounted in a glass insert with the contact arranged to extend into the aperture of the one connecting member and an integral mating portion facing the second member with a radial flange formed by a circumferential undercut to be outwardly deflectable away from the radial face, the radial flange outwardly forming a deflectable beam section with radially inner and outer frontwardly converging surfaces and an axially extending cutting edge formed thereby, the sleeve outwardly including rotational coupling surfaces such as screw threads for rotational insertion into the shroud member aligning the cutting edge with the radial face while forcing the edge into the face in sealing penetration, the end of the sleeve opposite the cutting edge being adapted for connection to a conventional connector. In one embodiment, the radially inner surface is at an acute angle of about 30.degree. and is longer than the outer surface to form an inner area of pressure engagement when the beam section is deflected. In a second embodiment, the cutting edge and adjoining surfaces are on a second deflectable beam section formed by a groove in the first beam section to provide multiple deflecting members.
