The receptacle component includes conductor receiving means therein and a second elastomeric sealing memebrane covering the mating end thereof to seal the same. The second sealing membrane also has a slit therein, the slits in each of the sealing membranes being positioned to register upon mating engagement of the plug and receptacle components. The connector further includes displacement means operable upon the mating engagement of the plug and receptacle components to stretch the first and second sealing membranes in a direction transverse to the slits to open the slits to permit the passage of the conductor means therethrough during engagement and disengagement of the components.
