Abstract: An electrical connector assembly for use in environmentally challenging locations. The electrical connector assembly comprises a receptacle connector member, a plug connector member and a coupling nut that interface to provide dual radial seals so as to define dual contaminant barriers. The dual radial seals substantially eliminate the possibility of particulate as well as moisture and water intrusion. Each connector member is individually potted to a wire to eliminate the potential for water wicking up the wire while transferring the wire pull strength to the connector member. The electrical connector can include a security seal to provide visual indication of any tampering with the electrical connector assembly. Each connector member can include a protective cover allowing the connector members to be stored for extended periods of time without degradation.

Abstract: Moisture-resistant electronic enclosures and methods of enclosing and isolating an electronic metering device are disclosed. The electronic enclosure can be adapted for metering devices, such as in automatic meter reading and other consumption measuring application, and includes a double-wall, isolated configuration. The apparatus and method of the invention thereby protect metering or other electronic components from moisture, dust, and other environmental debris.
