Abstract

A connector for receiving and transmitting signals from a sensor that is adapted for use in a harsh environment of, e.g., a steam cooker is disclosed. A connector of the present disclosure may be utilized in an environment having a high temperature relative humidity and which is under positive or negative pressure. A single conductor in the form of a male extension extends into a sealable cooking chamber and is sized to be received in a female connector communicatively connected to a sensor such as a temperature sensor. An arrangement of seals and inflators are interposed between the connector and the cooking chamber to isolate the connector and protect it from corrosion and electrical conductivity to the enclosure.
