ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector including moisture sealing and self-locking features comprises pins on the plug, shrouded by a hollow sleeve extending from a unitary body formed of a rigid plastic. The receptacle member, of rigid material, includes sockets for receiving the individual pins. The socketed portion of the receptacle member is surrounded by a hollow sleeve which tapers on its inner surface. The plug member sleeve is untapered. A raised resilient band extends continuously around the plug member sleeve, the band being an integral part of the plug member. When the connector members mate the sleeve on the plug member telescopes between the sleeve and the socket portion of the receptacle member with the elastic band compressed against the tapered inner wall of the receptacle sleeve to form a moisture proof seal. A second resilient integral band extends around the sleeve of the plug member and engages an inner peripheral groove, provided in the tapered surface of the receptacle member. In the engaged position, the resilient material seats within the peripheral groove in the receptacle sleeve. Locking engagement is provided.
