Abstract: A weather-resistant electrical connector having an environmental seal and including an insulating post supporting the male contact. The mating connector has a sleeve that is correspondingly shaped and dimensioned to receive the post. The post is of sufficient length to seal and contain any arcs from live connections.
Abstract: A weather-resistant electrical connector having an environmental seal and including a locking assembly made from a high impact strength thermoplastic. A method is disclosed for overmolding the connectors in one step. A locking yoke latches the connectors together. Locking tabs secure the connectors to mounting plates. The locking tabs have steps to retain the connectors upon compression of a seal. An insulated mounting post supports the contact and is of sufficient length to seal and contain any arcs from live connections.
