An electrical connector (10) is composed of a main body (12) mounting an electrical socket (26) or switch and a cover (13) pivotably mounted to the main body and capable of closing off the interior region of the connector in the vicinity of the socket/switch from the surroundings. The cover (13) and the main body (11,12) have complementary tapered mating regions (22) opposite the pivot joint (46,45) resembling a fish tail. The mating region of the cover (13) has a pair of cantilevered resilient arms (41) with apertures which interengage as a snap-fit with detents (31) set in recesses (30) in the mating region of the main body. To release the arms (41) they can be gripped from the sides between a thumb and a first finger and squeezed together. Elastomeric sealing members (28,36) are mounted into the mating regions of the cover and the main body to trap and seal around a cable of a plug filled into the socket when the cover is closed and a further seal (27) serves to seal the rim of the cover (13) to the main body. |
