ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector backshell and a molded environmental seal for use therewith are provided. The backshell includes an internal array of threads for mating with a frontshell. An internal cylindrical surface is provided rearwardly of the threads and terminates at an inwardly directed annular shoulder. The seal is molded from a unitary piece of elastomeric material and is dimensioned to be engaged within the internal cylindrical surface of the backshell. The seal is provided with a mating end for mounting against the shoulder of the backshell. The mating end of the seal is provided with an annular mounting flange for engaging the groove in the backshell. The forward mating end of the seal defines a radially outer annular locking ridge and a radially inner annular sealing ridge. The locking and sealing ridges are constructed for secure environmental sealing engagement with a plurality of different frontshell configurations.
