A method for sealing an electrical connector having a transition end and a cable. A protective coating is applied to the transition end of the connector. The connector, transition end and cable are positioned within halves of a mold. An annular resilient seal is positioned about the transition end within the mold. When the mold is filed with castable material the annular resilient seal compresses against the connector, preventing leakage of the castable material along the connector. The mold can then be separated leaving a waterproof boot formed on the transition end of the connector. The invention also provides a mold and sealing means for this process.
