Abstract: An electrical connector device can be formed to be substantially fluid tight. This device can comprise a body having teeth and an optional insert having two sides with at least two sets of teeth wherein a first set of teeth is disposed on a first side of the insert, and a second set of teeth are disposed on a second side of the insert. The first set of teeth are for mating with the teeth on the body to form a substantially sealed connection between the insert and the body. There can also be a sealing nut for securing over the insert and the body, wherein the sealing nut includes a set of teeth wherein when the sealing nut is screwed down onto the body, the set of teeth on the sealing nut mate with the second set of teeth on the insert to form a substantially sealed connection between the sealing nut and the insert. The spacer then keeps each of these soldered wires separate from each other.
Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a housing made of a flexible material and an electrical receptacle encompassed by the body. There is an extension surrounding and protruding beyond the front face to protect the front face. There is a wiper disposed on the extension adjacent each side of the housing. The wiper has a generally triangular shape. The wiper prevents water and moisture from migrating into the electric box when performing a pressure test. There is a locking seal disposed around an interior face of the extension to lock the housing to an electrical receptacle.
Abstract: An electrical plug connector having fluid sealing between mated parts, and is provided with a locking mechanism. The mated parts consist of a male connector part having at least one contact pin extending therefrom, and a female connector part that contains at least one contact pin receptacle adapted to receive the male contact pins. The fluid sealing is accomplished by a bead extending circumferentially around the periphery of the female mating area, which fits into a groove provided on the periphery of the male part. The electrical plug locking mechanism includes a cylindrically shaped member extending from the periphery of the male part, and a latch attached to the periphery of the female connector part. This latch is adapted to receive the cylindrically shaped member therethrough, which locks the male and female connector parts together.
