Abstract

The invention relates to a connector comprising a first connector portion and a second connector portion, the first connector portion comprising a seal, a resilient detent element and an outer conductor portion, a portion of the resilient detent element contacting a radially outward facing surface of the outer conductor portion, the second connector portion comprising a counterpart detent element, in a mated configuration of the first connector portion and the second connector portion, the resilient detent element engages the counterpart detent element and locks the first connector portion to the second connector portion, and a compression of the seal in the mated configuration effecting a force parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first connector portion, the force inhibiting play between the resilient detent element and the counterpart detent element.
