ABSTRACT:
A sealed electrical connector employs electrical contacts located in a housing with multiple contact receiving apertures, deflectable latches, and a seal section. A wire seal is mounted on the seal section, and a seal retainer is latched to the housing to retain the wire seal within the seal retainer and on the seal section. Wire seal sections are positioned within a seal retainer chamber with sufficient annular and radial clearance to permit deflection of the seal section due to transverse forces on the wires, without affecting the seal integrity around the wires. A lock plate is attachable to a housing mating face initially in a pre-staged position and shiftable to a locked position to prevent undesired deflection of the contact latch. The lock plate includes a tab forming an interference fit in a housing slot to hold the lock plate in either the pre-staged position or the locked position.
