ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly for use in environmentally challenging locations. The electrical connector assembly comprises a receptacle connector member, a plug connector member and a coupling nut that interface to provide dual radial seals so as to define dual contaminant barriers. The dual radial seals substantially eliminate the possibility of particulate as well as moisture and water intrusion. Each connector member is individually potted to a wire to eliminate the potential for water wicking up the wire while transferring the wire pull strength to the connector member. The electrical connector can include a security seal to provide visual indication of any tampering with the electrical connector assembly. Each connector member can include a protective cover allowing the connector members to be stored for extended periods of time without degradation.
