ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for use with a conductor includes a housing defining a port. The port includes an entrance opening, an exit opening, and a conductor passage extending between and communicating with the entrance and exit openings. The conductor passage is adapted to receive the conductor therethrough. Sealant is disposed in the conductor passage. The sealant is adapted for insertion of the conductor therethrough such that the sealant provides a seal about the inserted conductor. A penetrable closure wall extends across the conductor passage.
