Electrical connector having removable seal at cable entry end

摘要

An electrical connector has a body and seal member in which the body has embedded electrical conductors that extend outwardly from the cable entry end of the body. The body also includes integrally formed sheaths that surround a portion of each of the outwardly extending electrical conductors. The seal member has internal passageways that are adapted to provide a waterproof seal around each of the sheaths and around the insulation jacket of each wire lead attached to one of the electrical conductors. The electrical connector effectively and economically solves the problem of providing a field repairable waterproof seal at the cable entry end of a connector by sealing the sheath surrounding the conductor and the jacket surrounding the wire lead on each side of the electrical connection between the conductor and lead.
