ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) has a body (12) and seal member (14) in which the body (12) has embedded electrical conductors (18) that extend outwardly from the cable entry end (16) of the body (12). The body (12) also includes integrally formed sheaths (28) that surround a portion (20) of each of the outwardly extending electrical conductors (18). The seal member (14) has internal passageways (38) that are adapted to provide a waterproof seal around each of the sheaths (28) and around the insulation jacket of each wire lead (24) attached to one of the electrical conductors (18). Either one of the body (12) or seal member (14) may be formed of rigid material and the other one formed of a compressible material, or alternatively, both may be formed of compressible material. The electrical connector (10) effectively and economically solves the problem of providing a field repairable waterproof seal at the cable entry end (16) of a connector (16) by sealing the sheath (28) surrounding the conductor (18) and the jacket surrounding the wire lead (24) on each side of the electrical connection between the conductor (18) and lead (24).
