Abstract
A fluid tight, detachable underwater electrical connector assembly having a elf-locking capability for use in connecting underwater hydrophones. The connector assembly comprises a female plug or receptacle housing, at least one electrical conductor, and a "feed-thru" tube leading from the receptacle housing for isolating the electrical conductor from a fluid environment. The receptacle housing is clear or substantially transparent thereby allowing visual inspection for leaks.
