ABSTRACT:
Connector (10) for termination to a multiconductor cable (12) remote from an end thereof and including a housing (20) and a cover (22) securable to each other around the cable, defining a channel (32) therethrough. Housing (20) contains a plurality of contacts (60) with first contact sections (66) in slots (62) that open onto the assembly face adjacent the cable jacket to penetrate the cable insulation and establish electrical connections with the cable's conductors (16). A pair of gaskets (100,102) are mounted to the housing and cover (20,22) and seated within grooves (104,106) thereof, with cable-engaging portions (132) extending outwardly of the grooves to be engaged by and compressed by the cable (12) during application of the connector to the cable, being compressed into the grooves (104,106), surrounding and sealing the sites where the contacts will penetrate the cable insulation during termination.
