ABSTRACT:
In one possible embodiment, a waterproof connector is provided having a unitary compressible housing comprised of a waterproof material encasing a finger board. The finger board is constructed to receive interconnect wires and corresponding electrical contact pins, which are secured to the finger board. The housing has a well portion within the housing, the electrical contact pins extend through the waterproof material from the finger board into the well. Partition portions within the well extend between the electrical contact pins. A sealing lip portion is around the well on a mating side. The housing also has a compressible backing portion behind the finger board. The unitary compressible housing may be constructed to be seated in a structural housing, which may be a recess or the like in a structural member or component of an apparatus.
