Definitions

  • the first and/or second peripheral seals 7, 9 may lie partly within recesses within the mating surface 6 as shown so as to prevent movement of the seals in the direction of the insertion axis 5.
  • the seals 7, 9 may have any suitable cross-section for being retained on the mating surface 6.
  • a suitable cross-section could be circular or of a 'D'-profile or square profile for example.
  • a portion of the or each resilient seal 7, 9 preferably lies slightly proud of the mating surface 6 to provide a compression portion which can be compressed against the male connector component 3.
