ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for conductively connecting a plurality of wires together in a waterproof manner includes a non-conductive connector housing having opposing ends. Wire guides are included at each end of the connector housing. A conductive pin is disposed within the housing, and typically supported within an internal wall. Opposing membranes disposed within the connector housing define a chamber which at least partially encases the electrical pin and contains a liquid sealant. Insertion of wires into the open ends of the connector housing and into contact with the pin punctures the membranes causing the liquid sealant to leak out and bond around the electrical wire and pin causing a conductive connection which is waterproof.
