Devices permitting the sealing of electrical connectors

Abstract

Abstract An improved sealing system for use with cooperating electrical connectors for placing two cables of the type wherein each of the cables has an insulator sheath in contact. A contact is inserted into a lodging in each of the connectors with a resulting space between the outer diameter of the insulator sheath and the inner diameter of the electrical connector. The sealing system includes: (a) an electrical contact having a contact element and a tail portion, the tail portion being adapted to be crimped onto one of the cables; and (b) a flexible sealing sleeve molded onto the tail portion of the electrical contact, the sealing sleeve being adapted to seal the space.
