<p>ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR A high temperature hermetic electrical connector is disclosed in which socket contacts are hermetically sealed in a rear insulator of one connector member. A "napkin" spring is mounted on a forward portion of the body of each socket contact which extends forwardly of the rear insulator. A front insulator is removably mounted on the front face of the rear insulator, and serves to retain the "napkin" springs on the socket contact bodies. When the front insulator is removed, a damaged "napkin" spring may be replaced in the field by a new spring without affecting the sealing integrity of the connector. In a second embodiment, a metal hood slidably mounted on a contact body removably retains the "napkin" spring thereon.</p> |
