ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric wire seal for an individual terminated electrical conductor has a transverse body section, a sleeve-like outer section extending forwardly therefrom and a tube-like inner section extending forwardly from the body section coaxially within the outer section and spaced radially therefrom by an annular gap. A profiled bore extends through the body section and the inner section through which the terminated conductor extends. A plurality of annular ridges along the profiled bore sealingly engages the conductor which deforms them outwardly such that the inner section bulges into the annular gap between the inner and outer wire seal sections. The outer section sealingly engages sidewalls of the terminal-receiving cavity of the housing. Each wire seal can receive conductors of several adjacent wire sizes.
