The connector assembly includes a connector housing having a cable opening and a mating connector opening, a connector body assembly mounted within the connector housing, a removable cover assembly sealed to the connector housing and covering the mating connector opening, and a strain relief assembly for sealing the cable opening between the cable and the connector housing. When the removable cover assembly is sealed to the connector housing, the connector assembly is immersible in a liquid, such as a sterilization fluid. The cover assembly is removed from the connector housing for operation of the ultrasound probe with an imaging system.
