Abstract: An electrical connector comprising a multiple terminal connector body has a sturdy and easily installed end cap that is secured to the connector body for sealing the cable end. The end cap includes a seal chamber that is disposed in a common cavity at the cable end of the connector body and contains a compliant sealing material which seals the open ends of the terminal cavities and encapsulates projecting ends of the electric terminals and trailing portions of the electric cables. The end cap is configured to maintain the integrity of the seal chamber, to permit the electric cables to pass out of the common cavity at the cable end of the connector body, to assure that the electric terminals are properly located in the terminal cavities of the connector body and to provide a strain relief in cooperation with portions of the connector body.
Abstract: An electrical connection terminal has a foot with two oppositely directed fingers, the underside of which has a receiving claw and a U-shaped extension with an inwardly open mouth-like recess for engaging the side flanges of a carrier rail, as well as a screw for clamping the recess. The U-shaped extension is wider than the carrier rail, such that the screw passes through externally of the carrier rail. A resiliently deformable element is arranged in the mouth-like recess which at least temporarily holds the terminal fast on the carrier rail.
