Abstract
A filter structure including a collet assembly of inexpensive design that provides a reliable seal and can be easily implemented during the manufacturing process is disclosed. The collet assembly includes a front cap, a rear insert body, a collet contact extension passing through the rear insert body, and a seal located between the front cap and the rear insert body. The collet assembly is inserted into a connector of a filter housing. The seal provides a seal between the interface of the filter housing and the collet assembly. The collet assembly also preferably includes a well in the rear insert body that is filled with a sealant material that seals the interface between the rear insert body and the collet contact extension.
