ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for an electric connector containing electric contacts within an open end of the connector comprises a peripheral clamping strip to be clamped over an elastomeric band around the peripheral wall adjacent to the open end of the connector. A base member attached to the clamping strip protrudes toward the open end where there is pivoted a protective lid which can cover the open end. A spring loads the lid so that it is urged toward the position where it closes the open end and a finger portion may be used to pivot the lid against the force of the spring to open the lid. The clamping strip has ends which overlap so that the strip is substantially in the form of a ring. The two ends of the strip are provided with louvered notches which can be drawn toward each other by a suitable tool to contact the diameter of the circle over the elastomeric band.
