A connector is provided for connecting to a device in a high pressure environment, wherein a front portion of the connector body is inserted into a passage of the device so contacts mate, and a nut is screwed into the threaded rear end of the passage until the nut front end presses against a shoulder on the body to press an elastomeric portion of the body against a ledge of the device to seal thereagainst. A grounded wire has its front end crimped to a grounding terminal. A finger on the grounding terminal extends radially through a portion of the body to the outside of the body, the finger being bent and engaging a smooth inner surface on the nut. One connector is formed of an elastomeric front member and a hard plastic rear member that is overmolded to the front member and to a quantity of potting material, the attachment portion of the grounding terminal being molded in the hard plastic rear member. In another connector, only a single hard plastic molded member is used, with the grounding terminal held in the potting material and an elastomeric washer being used for sealing to the ledge.
