ABSTRACT:
A connector seal arrangement having particular adaptability for use within the insulation space between the inner wall and the cabinet wall of a household refrigerator and having a portion extending into the refrigerated space. The rear seal snaps into a watertight relationship with a recess defined at the end of the connector, whereas the front seal is disposed on an upstanding plate or flange extending from the mid-region of the connector. The inner seal is, typically, overmolded on the aforesaid plate and includes a skirt or boot in engagement with the inner surface of the inner wall of the refrigerator. Introduction of insulation presents a sealing relationship between the skirt or boot and the aforesaid inside wall surface. In order to achieve more versatility, the rear seal may include an opening presenting a fracturable membrane for the selective introduction of an electrical connector(s) depending upon total needs. In another invention form, the inner seal may be hand-fitted to a use position on the upstanding flange.
