Weatherproof bulkhead mount |
摘要 |
Disclosed is a weatherproof bulkhead mount that includes a weatherproof bulkhead housing having a portion sized to pass through a surface of a waterproof, sealed enclosure to an inside space of the enclosure and a portion sized to remain on the surface. The mount has a connector in the housing that provides electrical connection for an active component and is accessible from the outdoor environment, a circuit board in electrical connection with the connector for providing electrical communication between the connector and the inside space, and a removable cap to provide access to the connector when removed and to provide a weatherproof seal for the connector when not removed. Preferably, the “active” component socket is a SIM socket. Preferably, the cap has a push/pull grip, an elastic tether and a tether retaining ring. The tether retaining ring can also function as a weatherproof bulkhead gasket against the weatherproof bulkhead. |

1. A method comprising:
providing a weatherproof bulkhead mount for mounting through a wall of a weatherproof, sealed enclosure that can be placed in an outdoor environment, the enclosure having an inside space and a surface exposed to the outdoor environment, the weatherproof bulkhead mount comprising:
a housing having a portion sized to pass through the surface of the enclosure to the inside space and a portion sized to remain on the surface of the enclosure;a connector in the housing that provides electrical connection for an active component, wherein the connector is accessible from the outdoor environment;a circuit board in electrical communication with the connector and with a cable for providing electrical communication between the connector and the inside space; anda removable cap sized to cover the portion of the housing remaining on the surface of the enclosure, to provide access to the connector when removed and to provide a weatherproof seal for the connector when not removed; removing the removable cap to expose and provide access to the active component and the active component connector; optionally, removing the active component to replace the active component with another active component; and replacing the removable cap to provide a weatherproof seal for the active component connector. |
