<p>A modular connector includes a housing (18, 181, 191, 518) having an interior surface adapted to engage a mating external surface of one or more contact-receiving and -carrying modules (20, 210, 520, 521) supported within the housing. The wire contacts (64, 65, 66, 600) are removably supported within the module to permit one or more contacts to be removed and replaced without destruction of the entire module. Mating structures of the housing and the module and the contacts repeatably position the housing portions with respect to one another and precisely position the module within the housing laterally, longitudinally, and vertically and precisely position the contacts within the module. The invention also includes a module (520, 521) having an integral sealing boot (578) formed thereon to provide strain relief and effective sealing around the conductor wires (536, 537) entering into the module and between the module and the housing portions.</p> |
