ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric wire seal for an individual electrical conductor has a forward conductor-engaging section, an intermediate housing-engaging section, and a rearward section which extends rearwardly from the connector housing when the wire seal is secured in a rearward portion of a terminal-receiving cavity of the housing. The rearward section has an annular ridge extending radially inwardly into the profiled bore of the wire seal so that when a terminated conductor has been inserted therethrough the annular ridge sealingly engages the conductor. The conductor is thus sealingly engaged at locations forwardly and rearwardly from the location where the wire seal sealingly engages the sidewalls of the rearward cavity portion.
