Multiple wire connector assembly for marine streamer

A marine streamer connector, comprising:

• a coupler housing;
• a connector insert disposed in said coupler housing therein;
• a compression disk;
• a seal disk disposed between said connector insert and said compression disk;
• each of said connector insert, seal disk, and compression disk having a plurality of openings formed therethrough, each of said openings adapted for receiving a conductor wire passing through each of said openings;
• said seal disk having a generally conically shaped deformable nipple disposed on each side of said disc around each of said openings in said seal disk, said nipples adapted for engagement with corresponding conically shaped recesses formed in each of said connector insert and said compression disk;
• and
• a spring disposed adjacent said compression disk so as to urge said compression disk against said seal disk with sufficient force to compress said nipples of said seal disk against said conductor wires extending through the openings in said seal disk.

• a compression disk;
• a seal disk disposed between said connector insert and said compression disk;
• each of said connector insert, seal disk, and compression disk having a plurality of openings formed therethrough, each of said openings adapted for receiving a conductor wire passing through each of said openings;
• said seal disk having a conically shaped deformable nipple disposed on each side of said seal disk around each of said openings in said seal disk, said nipples adapted for engagement with corresponding conically shaped recesses formed in each of said connector insert and compression disk;
• said conically shaped nipples and recesses, wherein the slope of the sides of said nipples is less than the slope of the sides of the corresponding recesses;
• and a spring disposed adjacent said compression disk and engaging each of said compression disk and connector insert so as to urge said compression disk against said seal disk with sufficient force to compress said seal disk against said conductor wires extending through the openings in said seal disk.

A marine streamer program module, comprising:

• a program module housing having a dry area formed therein;
• a first compression disk disposed within said housing adjacent said dry area in said housing;
• a second compression disk;
• a seal disk disposed between said first compression disk and said second compression disk;
• each of said first compression disk, seal disk, and second compression disk having a plurality of openings formed therethrough, each of said openings adapted for receiving a conductor wire passing through each of said openings;
• and
• a spring disposed adjacent said second compression disk so as to urge said second compression disk against said seal disk with sufficient force to compress said seal disk against said conductor wires extending through the openings in said seal disk.
