For releasable connection of a first apparatus (e.g. an electric cable) to a second apparatus (e.g. an electric switch) for conductive communication therebetween, a connector comprises a plug (1), a socket (2), an over-center buckle (14-17) and an "O"-ring (19), the latter being housed in said socket (2) and arranged to be compressed in the course of, the engagement of said plug and socket as effected by displacement of said buckle. The "O" ring upon compression tends to resile in a sense to displace the buckle towards its engaged state. This provides both the requisite locking between the plug and the socket, and also a seal against the ingress of moisture into the socket. Interengaging contacts (7,11) are each carried on a non-conductive carrier member (23,27), the carrier members having resilient tongues and lips (24,25,28,29) for retention in the plug and socket respectively by snap action over a step (26,30) within body portions (9,12) of the plug and socket respectively.
