  • Patent number: 8113860
    Abstract: This patent discloses an improved multi-pin electrical connector for use in wet environments. Multi-pin connectors are widely used. In some uses, the connectors may be exposed to water. The improved connector keeps external water from entering the connector and isolates any water inside the connector. A number of improvements are disclosed, including seals for the pins, seals for the wires exiting the back of the connector, and bonding internal insulator materials. The invention also incorporates an improved female receptacle design that provides a better male-to-female connection, thus improving performance of the connector. The multi-pin connector disclosed is suitable for use in almost any wet environment.
