ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector device includes a housing defining holes for insertion of wires from different sources but of the same type, e.g. ground wires. The device includes a plurality of first retaining clips, each one being electrically connected to every other first clip so that the first wires are pigtailed upon insertion into the appropriate wire insertion hole. Second and third wire insertion openings and retaining clips may also be provided in like manner to pigtail respective additional wires of like type. The housing is waterproof. Specifically, a puncture seal is positioned in the housing between a wire insertion opening and the retaining clips. The puncture seal, through which each wire must pass, prevents moisture from entering the housing. Further, a wall of the device defines an opening for insertion of a sealant into the interior area between a wire insertion opening and the retaining clips.
