SEALED CONNECTOR WITH AN EXTENDED SEAL SLEEVE AND AN ANTI-WATER POOLING RETAINER

摘要

An connector (10) includes a terminated cable (22), a connector body (12) defining a cylindrical terminal cavity (20) configured to receive the terminated cable (22), and a cable seal part (24) axially surrounding a portion of the terminated cable (22). The cable seal part (24) defines a compliant primary sealing ring (26) that is in compressive contact with an inner wall (28) of the terminal cavity (20). The cable seal part (24) further defines an extended sleeve (30). The connector (10) also includes a seal retainer (34) that is inserted into a distal end (27) of the terminal cavity (20) and axially surrounds at least a portion of the extended sleeve (30). An inner surface (36) of the seal retainer (34) is proximate to at least a portion of the extended sleeve (30) and an outer surface (38) of the seal retainer (34) is proximate to the inner wall (28) of the terminal cavity (20).
