Abstract

The disclosure teaches an electrical connector of the type for electrically interconnecting a powered device to a power supply, preferably with a surface mounting or abutting connection. The connector comprises an elongated housing having plural, axially oriented through holes of a first diameter, where each hole is adapted to snugly receive an electrical conductor to electrically interconnect the device to the power supply. The housing includes a like plurality of concentric recesses, one about each hole at one end face of the housing, where the diameter of the recess is greater than the first diameter. A conductor is provided within each through hole, where the end thereof is in communication with the recess. Further, means cooperating with the housing to fixedly secure said conductors within the through holes is provided. Finally, quantities of an electrically conductive gel is inserted into each recess extending between the conductor end to beyond the end face to form a conductive gel lead, whereby the housing may be mounted between the powered device and the power supply to effect an electrical interconnection therebetween.
