<p>An electrical connector (10) is composed of a main body (11, 12) mounting an electrical socket (26) and a cover (13) pivotably mounted to the main body (1, 12) and capable of closing off the interior region of the connector in the vicinity of the socket from the surroundings. The cover (13) and the main body (11, 12) have complementary tapered mating regions (22, 33, 35) 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 (43) 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.</p> |
