A waterproof, electrical connector with a bulkhead mounted receptacle having an "O"-ring or other expandable gasket compressed between the bulkhead and the mating surface of the receptacle shell. Another "O"-ring in the inside circumference of the one piece receptacle shell is compressed when the one piece plug shell is mated with the receptacle, thus forming a unitary type shell. A reinforced hose is secured by double turn clamps, one forward clamp on the nipple or rear of the plug shell at a point away from the end of the plug shell and beyond a shoulder at the rear of the plug shell and another rearward clamp on the cable connected to the plug. Any leakage of fluid is prevented from reaching the contacts or flowing through the connector by the placement of these "O"-rings and the clamped hose.
