A water tight connector has a strain relief using a circumferential clip about a cable and held in position within a hollow tubular section of a connector housing. The clip is prevented from being removed from the connector housing by a resilient grommet, thus holding the cable from being pulled out from the connector housing; and the grommet provides both fluid sealing functions and secondary cable holding functions. The connector may be filled with a grease. The grease may have anti-bacterial characteristics. The connector may be filled with an hygroscopic material, such as an encapsulant.

Apparatus for holding an elongate member relative to a device, comprising a retainer for at least partially circumscribing at least a portion of said elongate member, said elongate member comprising an electrical cable having at least one electrical conductor, said retainer including means for engaging said elongate member to prevent relative axial movement of said retainer and said elongate member, receiving means positionally associated with said device for receiving at least a part of said retainer and at least a part of said elongate member, said receiving means including means for preventing such loosening of said retainer relative to said elongate member that would permit substantial relative axial movement of said retainer and elongate member, a holder for blocking withdrawal of said retainer from said receiving means in at least one direction, an electrical connector comprising a connector housing and means for making electrical connections, said means for making electrical connections being connected to at least one electrical conductor of said cable and being connectable to further means for making electrical connections, at least one signal conductor located at least partly in said housing for making connections, and a port for providing access to the interior of said housing to permit the delivery of fluidic material into said housing, said fluidic material having water resistant and anti-bacterial qualities.
