ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector component comprises a body member defining a compartment therein having an open end for the receipt of a mating electrical connector component, the body member further defining a recess adjacent the open end thereof, and a sealant for sealing engagement with said mating electrical connector component fixedly secured to the body member and resident in the recess. The body member further defines a mating surface located oppositely with respect to the open end and defines a further recess adjacent the mating surface, the sealant being resident also in the further recess. The sealant comprises a flowable material disposed in first part continuously interiorly of the body member adjacent the open end thereof and in second part continuously exteriorly of the body member adjacent the mating surface. Channels are provided in the body member extending into communication with the first and second recesses whereby a fluid flow-supporting path extends throughout the body member and the sealant material may be introduced into one recess and therefrom through the channels into the second recess.
