Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0831560A1] The electric connector is in two parts and consists of a coupling part (10) each exhibiting a receptacle housing (11) and an opposite coupling part (20) which can be coupled thereto. The receptacle (12) in the receptacle housing (11) is used for plugging in a plug-in housing (21) belonging to the opposite coupling part (20). In the coupled state an annular seal between the radial circumferential surface (26) of the plug-in housing (21) and the radial inner surface (16) of the receptacle housing (11) is active. In order to obtain a proper seal which is easy to handle it is proposed that the seal (31) be connected in modular manner to a carrier (32) and this constructional unit (30) be arranged in the annular gap between the circumferential surface (26) of the plug-in housing (21) and the inner surface (16) of the receptacle housing (11). This constructional unit (30) is fixed in the interior of the receptacle housing. <IMAGE>
