Insulating enclosure to provide a water-tight seal with an electric connector

摘要

A water-tight assembly of an electrical plug or receptacle with a weather-resistance insulating housing employs interlocking ribs on the interior of the housing and the exterior of the electrical connector. Additional ribs on the interior of the housing insures intimate engagement between these ribs and provides additional seals. A shroud on one of the housings permits the joiner of two housings in a water-tight manner and a closure cap supported on a tether provides a water-tight closure of the housing when not in use.
