ABSTRACT:
A microminiature, multi-pin electrical connector for high voltage applications. The connector includes a plug portion including a resilient body member having a plurality of cavities therein, and a receptacle portion having a plurality of extended members. When the plug and receptacle portions are connected, the extended members extend into the cavities to mate terminal means within the cavities and extended portions. The receptacle portion includes means for supporting the extended members while permitting them to move independently relative to one another. Radial and axial compression seals, preferably formed integral with the resilient body member, are provided to seal between the peripheral surface of each cavity and the outer peripheral surface of each extended member, and the base surface of each cavity and the extended end surface of each extended member, respectively. The seals permit the extended members to float and automatically align themselves within their associated cavities to ensure the establishment and maintenance of an effective seal between the walls of the cavities and the extended members. The connector portions include outer metal housings, and the resilient body member includes an integral annular flange for sealing between the housings when the connector portions are connected to provide a substantially fully shielded connector capable of carrying 6 KVDC within a temperature range of about -55.degree. C. to about +125.degree. C. and over a broad range of pressure.
