  • WATERTIGHT FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR
    Publication number: 20040077186
    Abstract: A watertight connector assembly includes a flat, flexible electrical cable completely encased in an elastomer coating, except at predetermined access openings configured to provide access to the cable. The access openings are defined by O-ring type seals formed in the coating on the surfaces of the cable near each end of the cable. Strain reliefs are positioned within the O-ring type seals. Electrical connectors are positioned within the access openings and configured to provide electrical coupling to the cable and to an external device. Compression pads are positioned adjacent the cable opposite the side of the cable having the electrical connector positioned adjacent thereto. This connector assembly is capable of withstanding harsh environments in compliance with environmental and vibration military specifications.
