ABSTRACT:
A sealing assembly for protecting the exposed components of a mounted electrical connector from the environment provides a seal between a connector backshell and a mounting plate to which the connector is mounted. The bell housing sealing assembly generally comprises a tubular member having a bottom end and a top end, the member being of sufficient inside diameter and length for surrounding an electrical connector having a backshell between the connector backshell and a mounting plate to which the connector is mounted; a top seal for sealing between the top end of the tubular member and the backshell of the surrounded connector; and a bottom seal for sealing between the bottom end of the tubular member and the mounting plate. The sealing assembly is threadably attached to either the connector backshell or, preferably, to the receptacle mounting nut. A second embodiment employs a force fit double lip seal as a top seal.
