ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having an improved seal for sealing a terminal area of the electrical connector. The seal has an engaging surface having a groove extending around the perimeter of the seal, thereby defining a first and second wall. The seal is slidably mounted on a cable, and the cable and seal are inserted in an end of the electrical connector so that a channel is formed by the groove and an inner wall of the electrical connector housing. A sealing material is introduced into the end of the electrical connector until it penetrates the seal between the first wall and the inner wall, thereby causing the channel to become filled with the sealing material. The seal provides a heat sink so that the sealing material solidifies in the channel without penetrating the seal between the second wall and the inner wall, thereby sealing the terminal area of the electrical connector from unwanted moisture.
