[time-nuts] MS3106R10SL-4S connector question

[Bob Stewart]

Take a look at ebay auction 261315795465.  It's a mil-spec connector and I don't see any way for the connector pins to come out.  It looks like it's probably pressure tight.  You can see the blue plastic pin in the third picture.  It's almost like it has something to do with the rubber strain relief/enviro shield, but I dunno what.
