Abstract

See full text

A fluid connector assembly is sealingly received by a housing having a bore. A hollow tube has a first end that is received in the housing bore, and a seal retention lip that is spaced from the first end and extends radially outward from the outer surface of the tube. A ring shaped band seal is sealingly mounted about the outer surface of the hollow tube between the first end and the seal retention lip and an outer seal surface sealingly engages the bore in the housing. Preferably, the band seal is formed from an elastomeric type of material. A seal backer ring is mounted about the outer surface of the hollow tube between and in engagement with the band seal and a first side of the seal retention lip, with the seal backer ring including an outer surface that is in surface contact with the bore of the housing in order to absorb clamping loads. The fluid connector assembly also includes a retainer plate mounted about the hollow tube and engaging with a second opposite side of the seal retention lip, and with the retainer plate being clamped to the outer surface of the housing.
