Patent ID: 7520778

Claim:
A DIN connector assembly, comprising: a substrate having a substantially planar surface and an opening extending into said substrate; a DIN connector extending into said opening into said substrate, said DIN connector having a cylindrical outer surface; a gasket having an inner portion, a lower portion, and an outer portion, the inner portion of the gasket having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a bottom surface, the inner surface of the inner portion of the gasket mating with the outer surface of the DIN connector, the bottom surface of the inner portion of the gasket being substantially parallel to said substantially planar surface of said substrate, the lower portion of the gasket having an upper surface, the outer portion of said gasket having an inner surface and an upper surface; a clamping plate having a lower surface and an outer surface, the lower surface of the clamping plate being substantially planar and mating with said substantially planar surface of said substrate and said upper surface of said outer portion of said gasket, the outer surface of said clamping plate mating with said outer surface of said inner portion of said gasket; and a pressure ring having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a lower surface, the inner and outer surfaces of the pressure ring extending away from said clamping plate into said opening in said substrate, the inner surface of the pressure ring mating with the outer surface of the inner portion of the gasket, the outer surface of the pressure ring mating with the inner surface of the outer portion of the gasket, and the lower surface of the pressure ring mating with the upper surface of the lower portion of the gasket.
