-13- ELECTRIC CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY ABSTRACT The invention relates to a connector assembly consisting of an elastomeric insert member held within a rigid shell by a retaining ring which engages both the shell and the insert. The assembly in- cludes a passageway between the insert member and the shell permitting access to the retaining ring to allow ready disengagement of the ring and insert from the shell. Presently available connectors having mounting elements non-integral with the elastomeric insert occasion- ally come apart under mechanical abuse, but are usually difficult to disassemble for service, and are sometimes difficult to mate. Significant advantages over prior elastomeric molded connector mounting systems are achieved by the present connector assembly in which an elastomeric molded connector insert is locked within a rigid shell. The rigid shell which protects the insert from mechan- ical abuse and environmental conditions is adapted for mounting to panels or to other supporting surfaces. Engagement of the ring with the shell is accomplished by radially movable retention means. The retaining ring produces a tight, tamper proof interengagement between the shell and the insert which nevertheless may be readily released with a simple tool which is inserted through a passageway provided in the connector assembly.
