ABSTRACT:
A sealed electrical connector is disclosed in which both the plug and receptacle portions are completely sealed from the normal atmospheric environment in both the connected and disconnected conditions. Each of the plug and receptacle members is provided with a normally closed sealing diaphragm extending across the mating ends thereof to protect the contacts enclosed thereby from moisture, dirt, etc. The diaphragms are opened, when the connectors are mated, by the male pin contact which extends through both sealing diaphragms to engage in the female receptacle contact. The subject connector obviates the need for a cover, which must be removed prior to mating the plug into the receptacle, and thus mating of the plug into the receptacle can be accomplished using one hand only.
