ABSTRACT:
An effective seal is provided for an electrical connector (10) by means of a substantially-rigid molded plastic insert (13) received in the housing (11) for the electrical connector (10). A potting compound (19) is injected, preferably through an opening in the base portion (14) of the insert (13), and into the space between the base portion (14) of the insert and the bottom wall of a casing (24) which supports a plurality of spaced-apart terminals (12) encapsulated by the potting compound (19). An interfacial seal (20) comprising an elastomeric sealing member is disposed flush against the base portion (14) of the insert (13), opposite to the potting compound (19). The insert (13) substantially compensates for any indentations in the potting compound (19) resulting from the curing thereof and provides an essentially flat support surface for interfacial seal (20) when connector (10) is mated to a complementary connector thus enabling an effective seal to be achieved between the two mated connectors and precludes the build-up of moisture in the indentations.
