1. A multi-contact right angle electrical connector for a jacketed multi-conductor electrical cable comprising in combination:

  • a first generally cylindrical tubular shell enclosing an electrical insulator;

    an array of electrical contacts supported within and extending through said insulator;

    said insulator being bonded to said contacts and to the interior surface of said shell to provide hermetic seals with said contacts and shell;

    a second tubular shell formed with a substantially right angle bend, and adapted to enclose a multi-conductor jacketed electrical cable;

    confronting attachment means provided on adjacent ends of said first and second tubular shells and arranged to permit rigid attachment of said first and second tubular shells at any one of a plurality of discrete angular orientations;

    the attachment means on said first tubular shell and the outer surface of said first shell being formed and arranged together to define an annular recess;

    a gasket disposed within said annular recess and compressed therein by said confronting attachment means when said first and second shells are rigidly attached to provide a hermetic seal between said shells; and

    means on said second tubular shell at the end opposite said attachment means for providing a hermetic seal between said second shell and the jacket of a multi-conductor electrical cable.
