A connector for forming an electrical connection includes a connector body and an insulator disposed in the connector body. The insulator includes a plurality of female contacts and a plurality of passages. Each passage allows access to one of the female contacts and is at least partially defined by a plurality of inwardly projecting rings. The connector also includes a plug having a plurality of male contact male contacts complementary to the female contacts. Each male contact male contact has a tower shaped to sealingly seat within an associated passage in the insulator.

1. A connector, comprising: a connector body;an insulator disposed in the connector body, the insulator including: a plurality of female contacts; anda plurality of passages, each passage allowing access to one of the female contacts, each passage being at least partially defined by a plurality of inwardly projecting rings, wherein each passage has a first seal section and a second seal section, wherein the rings of the first seal section have a non-varying diameter relative to one another and the rings in the second seal section having a varying diameter relative to one another; anda plug having a plurality of male contacts complementary to the female contacts, each male contact being partially encased in a tower shaped to sealingly seat within an associated passage in the insulator. 2. The connector of claim 1, wherein the rings and the towers are configured to sealingly engage to one another in response to a substantially uniform insertion force applied to the plug. 3. The connector of claim 1, wherein a substantial portion of the rings and the towers engage simultaneously to one another. 4. The connector of claim 1, wherein a profile of at least one passage and at least one associated tower each have a conical section. 5. The connector of claim 1, wherein the inwardly projecting rings form an undulating inner sealing surface defining the passage. 6. The connector of claim 1, wherein at least one tower has a tip and a diametrically enlarged base, wherein tip does not contact the rings in the first seal section when the tower seats in the associated passage. 7. The connector of claim 6, wherein the second seal section includes at least one inwardly projecting ring having a diameter greater than the tip of the at least one tower. 8. The connector of claim 1, wherein the plurality of inwardly projecting rings have radially inward tips having a sloped contact plane. 9. The connector of claim 1, further comprising: a cable configured to convey seismic information, wherein the plug is connected to an end of the cable; anda seismic device configured to communicate via the cable, wherein the connector body is connected to the seismic device. 10. A connector, comprising: a connector body;an insulator disposed in the connector body, the insulator including: a plurality of female contacts, anda plurality of passages, each passage allowing access to one of the female contacts, each passage being at least partially defined by a plurality of inwardly projecting rings;a plug having a plurality of male contacts complementary to the female contacts, each male contact being partially encased in a tower shaped to sealingly seat within an associated passage in the insulator;a cable configured to convey seismic information, wherein the plug is connected to an end of the cable;a seismic device configured to communicate via the cable, wherein the connector body is connected to the seismic device;wherein each tower has a tip and a diametrically enlarged base, wherein each associated passage has a first seal section and a second seal section, wherein the tip forms a first seal by sliding along the first seal section and the diametrically enlarged base forms a second seal by compressing the second seal section, wherein the tip passes through the second seal section before being received in the first seal section, and wherein the second seal is formed no earlier than when the first seal is formed. 11. The connector of claim 10, wherein the rings and the towers are configured to sealingly engage to one another in response to a substantially uniform insertion force applied to the plug. 12. The connector of claim 10, wherein a substantial portion of the rings and the towers engage simultaneously to one another. 13. The connector of claim 10, wherein a profile of at least one passage and at least one associated tower each have a conical section. 14. The connector of claim 10, wherein the inwardly projecting rings form an undulating inner sealing surface defining the passage. 15. The connector of claim 10, wherein the tip does not contact the rings in the second seal section when the tower seats in the associated passage. 16. The connector of claim 15, wherein the second seal section includes at least one inwardly projecting ring having a diameter greater than the tip of the tower. 17. The connector of claim 10, wherein the plurality of inwardly projecting rings have radially inward tips having a sloped contact plane. 18. A method of forming a connection, comprising: disposing an insulator in a connector body of a connector, the insulator including: a plurality of female contacts; anda plurality of passages, each passage allowing access to one of the female contacts, each passage being at least partially defined by a plurality of inwardly projecting rings, and wherein each passage has a first seal section and a second seal section;forming a plug having a plurality of male contacts complementary to the female contacts, each male contact being partially encased in a tower shaped to sealingly seat within an associated passage in the insulator, wherein each tower has a tip and a diametrically enlarged base;engaging the plug with the connector;connecting the plug to an end of a cable configured to convey seismic information;connecting the connector body to a seismic device configured to communicate via the cable;forming a first seal by sliding the tower tip along the first seal section; andforming a second seal by compressing the diametrically enlarged base against the second seal section, wherein the tower tip passes through the second seal section before being received in the first seal section, and wherein the second seal is formed no earlier than when the first seal is formed.
