In this embodiment the bayonet pegs 19 are separate components which are fitted subsequent to the attachment of the flange mounting 7, here riveted in apertures in the cylindrical member 17. With this arrangement, the footprint of the damping member 43 of the flange mounting 7, here an overmoulding, is kept to a minimum.
In an alternative embodiment the bayonet pegs 19 could be machined from stock together with the cylindrical member 17 as an integral component.
In another embodiment the connector section 11 could comprise a substantially rectangular member 17, such as to provide a rectangular connector.
In another embodiment the connector section 11 could include an alternative coupling mechanism, such as a screw threaded coupling.

In this embodiment, as particularly illustrated in Figure 6, the connector body 3 includes a seat member 31, which is defined by at least one inwardly-directed projection, against which one, the rear, end of the body *5*S** member 35 of the contact assembly 5 is seated, and a catch member 33, which is defined by at least one inwardly-directed projection, against which the at least one catch element 39 of the contact assembly 5 engages, such as captively to fix the contact assembly 5 within the connector body 3.
The contact assembly 5 comprises a body member 35 and a plurality of contacts 37, in this embodiment pin contacts, which are mounted to the body member 35 and are disposed at the front end thereof, such as to allow for connection to contacts of a counterpart connector, in this embodiment socket contacts of a plug connector.

In this embodiment the body member 35 includes at least one catch element 39, here a p'urality of catch elements 39, which each comprise a resilient arm which is biased outwardly to a catch position in which the at least one catch element 39 engages the catch member 33 on the connector body 3, such as to fix the body member 35 to the connector body 3, as particularly illustrated in Figure 6.
The flange mounting 7 comprises a connector flange 41, in this embodiment a rigid member, such as formed of metal, which is located about and normally spaced from the locking member 23 on the connector body 3, and a damping member 43, in this embodiment formed as an overmoulding, which interconnects the connector flange 41 and the connector body 3, such as normally to isolate the connector flange 41 from the locking member 23, *::::* as particularly illustrated in Figure 4, and allow for retative rotation of the * ** connector flange 41 and the connector body 3, whereby a rigid mechanical connection is achieved between the connector flange 41 and the connector * body 3 on relatively rotating the same, as illustrated in Figures 7(a) and (b).
: *"* With this configuration, by normally isolating the connector flange 41 from *** I the connector body 3 through the damping member 43, the transmission of vibration and shock to the connector body 3, and hence the contact assembly 5, from a supporting structure to which the connector flange 41 is mounted is substantially reduced, and, by enabling a rigid mechanical connection between the connector flange 41 and the connector body 3 on relative rotation of the same, a counterpart connector can be fitted in the normal manner.
In this embodiment the connector flange 41 includes an aperture 45 which is configured to receive the locking member 23 on the connector body 3 normally in spaced relation, and the aperture 45 defines a locking surface 47 which is configured such as mechanically to engage the locking surface 25 on the locking member 23 on relatively rotating the connector flange 41 relative to the connector body 3.

connector body 3 on relatively rotating the connector flange 41 and the connector body 3, such as to provide for a rigid mechanical connection on rotation of the connector body 3 relative to the connector flange 41.

In this embodiment the damping member 43 comprises a rubber or elastomer, here a fluorosilicone rubber.
In this embodiment the rubber is formulated to give a combination of good chemical and temperature resistance with good dimensional stability and moldability by injection molding, and the formulation provides a soft compound whilst retaining sufficient strength, particularly tensile strength, as to allow for normal operation of the connector.
In this embodiment the rubber formulation comprises 100 parts by weight fluorosilicone gum, 0.75 parts by weight peroxide cross-linking agent, 13.65 -10 -parts by weight fumed silica filler (AEROSIL (RIM)), 5 parts by weight colorant (red, black and yellow iron oxides) and 8 parts by weight plasticizer/processing agent (SILASTIC (RTM) HA-2), and has a nominal Shore hardness (Shore A) of 24.
By formulating the rubber to have a reduced amount of calcium carbonate type filler (NEO NOVACITE (TM)), as is conventionally employed in fluorosilicone rubbers, and in a preferred embodiment, as exemplified, formulating the rubber with no calcium carbonate type filler, the present inventors have surprisingly found that the tensile strength can be maintained, but yet the rubber exhibits a lower hardness.
In other embodiments the rubber can be formulated to have different Shore hardnesses (Shore A), such as 80, 65, 45 and 40, In other embodiments the rubber could comprise a nitrite rubber, such as *...
nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) or carboxylated nitrile-butadiene rubber : *** (XNBR), a neoprene rubber, an ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, a fluorocarbon rubber, such as Viton (RIM), a silicone rubber, or a polyurethane rubber. * ** * S * *** S
Finally, it will be understood that the present invention has been described in its preferred embodiment and can be modified in many different ways without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
For example, the described embodiment is an electrical connector, but the present invention has equal application in relation to optical connectors.
In addition, although the present invention has been described in relation to a receptacle connector, the present invention has equal application to a plug connector.
