IMPROVED SUBMINIATURE CONNECTOR ARRANGEMENT ABSTRACT An improved subminiature electrical connector arrangement especially suited for miniature electrical or electronic apparatus. The connector arrangement includes a two-piece female connector assembly wherein one part thereof may be suit- ably interconnected to the circuitry of the apparatus while the same is outside the associated housing. This connector may then be placed in alignment with an opening within the housing and a second connector portion inserts within the opening and makes a snap-fit, weather tight seal therein and engages said first connector portion, all without special tools or any additional hardware. An associated male connector plug makes a convenient interconnection with the female assembly by including a hook-like projection overhanging one edge thereof and which engages a recess in the top of a housing to permit the male plug to rotate downwardly and inwardly into correct mechanical and electrical engagement with the female connector assembly. The male plug further includes a plurality of contact spring elements with sidewardly extending projections which make wiping engagement with associated contact members in the female con- nector assembly and which exert a sidewise force therein so that, upon release of the associated fastening means securing the plug to the housing in its interconnected position, the sidewise spring bias forces the male plug at least partially out of the female assembly for an automatic disengagement and eject facility.
