ABSTRACT:
A high performance, low-cost sealed electrical connector is disclosed which is suitable for rugged environmental applications. The connector uses three double-shot molded parts each comprising a rigid molded plastic section and an elastomeric sealing section. The sealing sections of two parts provide seals for the insulated wires connected to the contacts in the plug and receptacle of the connector. The elastomeric section of the third part provides the interfacial seal between the plug and receptacle. The contacts are removably mounted in the plug and receptacle by the use of integral retention fingers formed on the plastic sections of the plug and receptacle. An improved stabilized latching arrangement is also disclosed.
