ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly comprises opposed mateable plug and receptable connectors. The plug and receptacle connectors each comprise identical hermaphroditic core insulators molded from an elastomeric material. The hermaphroditic core insulators comprise axially aligned terminal receiving slots extending generally radially inwardly into the outer circumference thereof. The mating end of the core insulator is of a stepped configuration to define a leading mating face and a trailing mating face, such that the leading mating face of one hermaphroditic core insulator is urged into mating face-to-face relationship with the trailing mating face of an opposed hermaphroditic core insulator. A generally cylindrical tubular shroud is disposed around the core insulator and the cable terminated therein. The shroud may be formed from a material that is heat shrunk into secure environmental sealing and strain relief connection with the core insulator and the cable.
