Abstract: A connector assembly comprises front and rear connector bodies, a wire grommet with wire passages, and a nut. Tightening the nut forces a rearward portion of the grommet into a tapered segment of a passage through the rear connector body, thereby radially compressing the grommet and sealing the wires passing therethrough.
