  • the internal surface of passage 26 of extension 24 is biased into engagement with abutment 18; that is, it is sized such that it exerts a compressive radial force on the aforementioned portions of contact 12 when in engagement therewith.
  • contact 12 when contact 12 is inserted through the passages 22 and 26 of resilient dielectric member 20 it expands the extension 24 thereof, after which the extension 24 snaps about the tapered portion 14, reduced portion 16 and abutment 18 of the contact 12 to restrain axial motion of contact 12 enough to hold it (and an attached conductor) in position unless deliberate axial force is applied to remove it.
  • a hard dielectric member 28 is mounted within the connector 10 and has a passage 30 therethrough to permit the insertion therein of contact 12.
  • the passage 30 has an enlargement 48 thereof sized to accommodate in close fitting relationship the extension 24 of resilient dielectric member 20.
  • a soft sealing gasket 32 is inserted between resilient dielectric member 20 and hard dielectric member 28 to provide a waterproof seal therebetween.
  • a soft sealing grommet 34 is cemented to the resilient dielectric member 20 to provide a seal about contacts 12 and the conductors attached thereto.
  • a hard sleeve 36 is disposed about grommet 34 in contact therewith and the assembly of sleeve 36 and grommet 34 is cemented to the resilient dielectric member 20.
  • plug P is internally threaded to receive an externally threaded ring 38, which is rotatably mounted about hard sleeve 36, and the resilient dielectric member 20 and is interlocked therewith by flange 37 so that it imparts axial motion to the resilient dielectric member 20 upon rotation to the ring.
  • the hard sleeve 36 serves to confine radial expansion of grommet 34 and provides a rotating engagement surface for ring 38.
  • the forward portion 40 of plug P has a shoulder 41 whereby hard dielectric member 28 is held in fixed relationship therewith.
  • FIGURE 3 an enlargement is shown for the extension 24 of resilient dielectric member 20.

  • the conforming enlargement in the passage 30 of hard dielectric member 28 may also comprise two sections, as for example a straight section 48 conforming to the straight section 44 of extension 24 and a tapered section 50.
  • the soft sealing gasket 32 conforms and seals to the tapered section 42 of extension 24.
  • the contact restraining device illustrated in FIGURES l to 3 and described supra operates as follows.
  • the contact 12 is connected by conventional crimping, soldering or welding techniques to a conductor.
  • the contact 12 is then inserted into the passage 22 of resilient dielectric member 20 and the passage 26 of extension 24.
  • the extension 24 of resilient dielectric member 20 snaps about the tapered portion 14, reduced straight portion 16 and abutment 18 of the contact 12 to exert enough radial compressive force thereon to yieldably restrain the contact 12 and conductor attached thereto against accidental dislodgement.
  • Ring 38 is then rotated and axially advanced to move the resilient dielectric member 20, extension 24 thereof, and the sealing gasket 32 into engagement with the hard dielectric member 28.
  • the enlargement 48 of the hard dielectric member 28 receives and confines the extension 24 of resilient member 20 to restrain radial expansion thereof and thus prevent dislodgement of the contact 12 by any force insufiicient to damage or destroy the parts.
  • One or more guide pins 52 may be used to assure polarized mating of the contacts within the two members 20 and 28.
  • each contact to be mounted within the connector 10.
  • the ring 38 is at least partially unscrewed from plug P to draw the resilient dielectric member 20 and sealing gasket 32, rearwardly, thus withdrawing the extension 24 from the enlargement 48 in the hard dielectric member 28.
  • the resilient dielectric member 20, together with the contacts 12 embedded therein may be completely withdrawn from the connector 10.
  • the contacts 12 may then be visually inspected or, if necessary, be extracted individually from the resilient dielectric member 20.
  • a simple tool having an end conforming to the end of the contact 12 be used.
  • axial pressure is brought to bear with the tool on the end of the contact 12, whereby the tapered surface of abutment 18 will act as a cam to expand the extension 24 and permit the rearward removal of the contact 12 therefrom.
  • the socket half S of the connector 10 is of like construction.
  • the two halves of the connector 10 are brought into engagement using any conventional means such as the illustrated captive bayonet coupling 54.

It has further been found advantageous to cut through one side of extension 24 as shown in FIG- URE 2 to facilitate expansion thereof when contact 12 is inserted therein.
  • FIGURE 4 An alternate embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGURE 4.
  • the embodiment of FIGURE 4 differs from the embodiment of FIGURES l to 3 in the means used to bring the member 20 and extension 24 thereof into engagement with member 28 and gasket 32.
  • a centrally located screw-nut arrangement is used to bring the aforementioned members into engagement with the hard dielectric member 28.
