Abstract

See full text

The disclosure relates to a panel connector for locking to a pass-through opening of a panel to allow electrical connection from one side of the panel to the other side. This connection can be considered to be of an outside-in type. The connector can seal the pass-through opening to resist passage dirt, debris and/or liquids. A channel provided on the connector can include a sealing gasket and can receive an annular rib disposed on the panel to create an effective and robust seal against even pressurized water spray. The connector can also prevent unlocking of the connector from the panel once locked to the panel. A resilient locking arm provided on the connector for engaging a mating slot of the panel opening can prevent counter rotational unlocking and detent member can prevent continued rotation after the connector is in the locked position.
