Abstract
An electrical connector which can be safely used under water. The conductor pins of one-half of the connector are engageable with sockets in the other half of the connector. The sockets are disposed in a cavity filled with a semi-mobile compound. The pins pass through a self-sealing diaphragm before entering the cavity and engaging the sockets. Pressurizing means is provided in the cavity to compensate for any loss of the compound during usage of the connector.
