A hermetic pressure connector for providing a pressure-tight, electrically-conductive connection through a hole in a bulkhead. The connector includes a transverse support member having a passage therethrough. A conductor pin extends through the passage. A molded body surrounds at least a central portion of the pin and electrically insulates the transverse support member from the pin and the pin from the bulkhead. The molded body is directly sealingly engaged to the conductor pin. A method of making a hermetic pressure connector for providing a pressure-tight, electrically-conductive connection through a hole in a bulkhead. The method includes placing a conductor pin into a passage in a transverse support member and positioning the conductor pin and transverse support member within an injection mold having the desired finished shape of the molded body. The positioning is such that the conductor pin is spaced from the transverse support member. The method also includes injecting a polymeric material into the injection mold for creating a molded body which surrounds the conductor pin and electrically insulates the conductor pin from the transverse support member. The molded body, conductor pin and transverse support member are removed from the injection mold.

A connector assembly, comprising: a connector base plate including an array of electrical connections; a first guide arm pivotally attached to said connector base plate housing at one end by a first pivot pin having a radial hub with at least one axial bore hole, a second guide arm pivotally attached to said connector housing at another end by a second pivot pin having a radial hub with at least one axial bore hole, said first and said second guide arms both including a detent pin assembly for selectively engaging the bore hole in the hub of the pivot pins, thereby locking said first and said second guide arms in position. 8. The connector assembly according to claim 7, wherein said first and second pivot pins both have radial hubs with two axial and perpendicular bore holes. 9. The connector assembly according to claim 8, wherein said first and said second guide arms are independently lockable in a first position with said lengthwise channels aligned directly opposite one another. 10. The connector assembly according to claim 7, wherein said first guide arm further comprises a distal sealing lip and a lengthwise channel for slidable insertion of an electronic device; and said second guide arm further comprises a distal end conforming to the sealing lip of said first guide arm for engaging said sealing lip when said first and second guide arms are pivoted together. 11. The connector assembly according to claim 10, wherein said first and second guide arms fully cover said connector housing when pivoted together. 12. The connector assembly according to claim 10, wherein said first and second guide arms are independently lockable in a second position with said sealing lip of said first guide arm engaging said end of said second guide arm, thereby creating an environmental and safety seal over said array of holes in said plate and said corresponding array of connectors on said electronic device.
