ABSTRACT:
The connector device comprises a male plug and a female receptacle, each of which has a housing with a central tubular component and a cavity extending therethrough and adapted to receive an end of an electrical conduit. Both the plug and receptacle include means for aligning the electrical pathways therein and for sealing the conduits, plug and receptacle against elevated temperature and corrosive gases, etc. The central tubular components are electrically insulated. The male plug has a plurality of spaced parallel connector pins extending forwardly from the front end of the plug's tubular component and spaced inwardly of a plug sleeve. The receptacle tubular member is disposed within a sleeve and carries a pin receiver on the front end thereof, which receiver bears a plurality of spaced parallel passageways extending longitudinally of the tubular member and containing electrical connectors therein for interconnection with an electrical conduit at the rear of the female receptacle. The male plug sleeve is receivable within the female sleeve and sealing means in the male plug and female receptacle include spaced O-rings or equivalent graphite seals to provide double hermetic sealing protection. Moreover, the male plug connector pins sealingly engage the female receptacle passageways. Critical seal dimensions are obviated because the telescoping of the sleeves provides dynamic sealing of the device. Locking means are also provided to help hold the male and female components together. The device is simple, inexpensive, durable and effective.
