Abstract: An elastomeric grommet suitable for sealing a substrate when compressed in an axial direction. The grommet is made so that an axial passageway has an inner central section of substantially constant cross-section and first and second inner end sections which taper inwardly from first and second radial surfaces, respectively, to define first and second entry portions for passage of the substrate. First and second outer end sections lie on either side of an outer central section. The outer central section defines a groove which runs circumferentially around the entire periphery of the grommet. The grommet is particularly useful for sealing a variety of sizes of strip heaters.

Abstract: An electrical connector for an electrical lead which has a first conductor and a second conductor. The connector has a first component, a conductor-receiving member, into which the conductors are inserted, and second component, a conductor-connecting member. The conductor-receiving member and the conductor-connecting member are movable relative to one another between a unique mated configuration and a plurality of demated configurations. The conductor-receiving member is preferably transparent in order to visually determine the correct positioning of the conductors.

Abstract: An electrical plug for connecting the first and second conductors of an electrical lead to an electrical power outlet. The plug is designed to contain a fuse. When the plug is connected to the power outlet and the fuse makes a proper electrical connection, a signal member provides a signal.
