ABSTRACT:
A front housing including a terminal support made of resilient material and having a plurality of male terminals releasably imbedded therein. The male terminals are connected to corresponding electrical cable. A back housing including a second terminal support made of resilient material and having a plurality of female terminals imbedded therein. The female terminals are also connected to corresponding electrical cable. A clamping ring mounted on the front housing engages screwthreads formed on the back housing such that the front and back housings can be tightly secured together. As the clamping ring is tightened the male and female terminals contact one another and compress the resilient supports. Due to the natural resiliency of the support material a force maintaining a pressure connection between the male and female terminals is created.
