CABLE AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

One connector (14) comprises a conductive block (48) encased in insulating material (18) with a cylindrical recess (26) in the block. A wedge (38) projects into the recess. The other connector (12) has a conductive block with a cylindrical post (20) projecting therefrom for mating within the recess (26). The distal end of the post (20) has a flat (40) and an annular groove (34) defining a part annular ridge (36). When the post is inserted in the recess, relative rotation enters the wedge (38) into the groove (34), which has a helical flank on the ridge (36) such as to draw the connectors (12) and (14) together and compress their insulating materials (18) together to provide a seal.
