GEL FILLED MODULAR ELECTRICAL CONNECTING BLOCK

摘要

An environmentally protected electrical socket and plug assembly (10) retains environmental security throughout re- peated connections and disconnections. The socket and plug assembly includes a socket (100) containing an electrical con- ductor (85) and adapted to insertably receive a plug (90), an environmental sealant (140) at least partially filling the socket so that the sealant is at lest partially displaced from the socket when the plug is inserted into the socket, and an elastomeric containment means (40) having an inset dimple (50) for being outwardly deflected to contain displaced sealant when the plug is inserted into the socket and to urge the sealant back into the socket when the plug is removed.
