Abstract: An electrical connector assembly comprises a connector body and an elastomeric sleeve seal. The connector body has an end portion with an outer surface defined by three separate cylindrical surfaces with one of the cylindrical surfaces, disposed between the other two cylindrical surfaces, having a predefined diameter different than that of the other two surfaces. The elastomeric sleeve seal has an end portion in which an internal surface is defined by three separate bore surfaces that, when the sleeve seal is assembled with the connector body, forcibly abut a corresponding one of the cylindrical surfaces of the connector body.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes mating connectors each having a relatively soft outer housing encapsulating a core formed of a hard material. Electrical conductors are partially embedded in the core which extends around the contact portion of preselected conductors to from a rigid sheath around the respective contact. The housings have a bore extending inwardly from a face surface that, upon assembly with a mating connector, sealingly surrounds the rigid sheath of the mating connector. The electrical connectors provide improved open-face waterproof sealing of the connector assembly.

Abstract: An electrical connector having pin members that are partially encapsulated within, and sockets members that are completely encapsulated within, rigid, electrically nonconductive sheaths that are respectively integrally formed in male and female body members. The male and female body members are joined together by a resiliently compressible coupling member having a relatively soft body portion surrounded by a flexible external casing formed of a harder material, and has a plurality of internally disposed passageways that seal around each of the sheaths. The male and female body members and the coupling member are separately disassemblable and individually repairable or replaceable without the use of special tools or equipment.
