ABSTRACT:
A sealing type electrical connector with mating housing portions configured to inhibit undesirable seepage of water or other contaminates into its interior which would be detrimental. A first housing is formed of flexible, molded elastomeric material which is relatively soft. A second housing is molded of rigid thermoplastic material. Each housing includes a tubular outer wall with closed and open ends defining a hollow interior therebetween. The housing members each also include an inner plug portion integrally formed therewith and spaced inward from the tubular outer wall portion, each having electrical contact makers molded therein. The tubular wall of one housing member has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tubular wall of the other housing member so that the members are assembled with the one member overlying the outer wall of the other member. Circumferentially extended sealing ribs on the member of elastomeric material are engaged by the other member and compressed in the space therebetween to prevent passage of water between the housing members and into the interior.
