Abstract: The present invention provides an environmentally sealed electrical connector assembly including a housing (100,200) having a rigid section and a flexible section. The rigid section includes a front portion (102,202), a rear portion (104,204), a plurality of electrical terminal receiving cavities (106,206), and a passageway (107,207) disposed within the rigid section so as to be in fluid communication with various outlets positioned within the outer surfaces (120,172,272) of the rigid section. The flexible section of the housing comprises a unitary sealing member (108,208) that is fixedly adhered to either the front portion (102,202) of the rigid section, the rear portion (104,204) of the rigid section, or both. A portion (168,268) of the unitary sealing member is embedded within the rigid section of the housing (100,200).

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connector for a high voltage electrical lead terminated to an electrical contact and a method for making the same wherein the connector includes a silicone rubber receptacle insertably receiving and surrounding the contact to prevent arcing thereof together with a dielectric tube having a section secured within the receptacle and being pre-shrunk to conform in shape to that of the electrical contact. A heat-shrinkable section of the tube projects from the receptacle and is heat-shrinkable to conform sealably around the electrical lead.
