Abstract
A liquid-tight connector includes a threaded body, a finger/gland assembly within an annular pocket within the body, and a compression nut that engages a first threaded portion of the body. The finger/gland assembly includes a plurality of fingers attached to a sealing gland in an annular, collet-type fashion. The sealing gland and the fingers may be integral with one another. The sealing gland and the fingers may be co-molded with one another. Tightening the compression nut on the threaded body causes the compression nut to engage the fingers of the finger/gland assembly and bias the fingers toward each other. Such biasing causes the fingers to move inward and compress the sealing gland so that it forms a liquid-tight seal around the entire circumference of a cable within the body of the connector.
