    Abstract: A quick connect-disconnect electrofluidic junction assembly for simultaneously transferring fluid and electrical energy from respective sources of supply. The assembly includes a female terminal with an internal receptacle one end of which is open and surrounded by a peripheral wall. An electrical contact is positioned inside the housing and spaced apart from the open end. A fluid passage extends through the housing and communicates with the receptacle. A male terminal includes a hollow connector body which is adapted to be push-fit into the receptacle through its open end, with an electrical contact on its forward end adapted to mate with the electrical contact in the housing. A sealing element is located around the periphery of the body for providing a fluid-tight seal between the body and the interior wall of the housing when inserted therein.
