ABSTRACT:
A sealing electrical assembly (32) of a type mated with a further connector (11) along a given axis includes first and second housings (1, 2) that telescope together to hold a one-piece seal (3) therebetween. The seal (3) has apertures (10) receiving wires (7) passed through openings (8) in the second housing joining contacts (5) retained in cavities (4) in the first housing and a peripheral surface including ribs (12) engaged by surfaces on a housing (2) of the further connector (11) to be compressed peripherally in a sense transverse to the mating axis of the connectors to effect a seal of the connector interior. One invention embodiment features a seal surface oriented outwardly (12) to be compressed inwardly, and a second embodiment includes a seal surface oriented inwardly (12') to be compressed outwardly against interior surfaces of a second housing to effect a seal of the connector interior.
