Electrical connector seal cap assembly

摘要

An electrical connector seal cap assembly (10), includes a seal cap (20) with a seal cap gasket (28) bonded thereto, which cap is assembled to an electrical connector (30). The seal cap (20) is pressed into engagement with the electrical connector (30) by action of screw (19). As this occurs, seal cap gasket (28) is sealingly pressed against sealing interface surface (38) of electrical connector (30). Gussets (22) of seal cap (20) advantageously distribute the compressive forces generated by screw (19) in the area of the interface between seal interface (38) and seal cap gasket (28) thereby creating an effective seal against sprays or other air-borne, high velocity contaminants.
