  • Patent number: 11189961
    Abstract: A low cost sealed electrical connector that incorporates multiple connection elements and is sealed against harsh environment with redundant seals. The connector is a harsh environment sealed electrical assembly that is assembled in-situ with a variety of end connector fittings for sealing. The modularity of the sealed connector puck type assembly enables mass manufacturing by injection molding or other mass production methods. The connector can either be mounted to a bulkhead or used in an inline cable assembly using a variety of end fittings. Multiple connector types are encompassed including various sizes of electrical conductors or a combination connector. The connector sealing material is chemical and harsh environment resistant and may include but are not limited to epoxy, urethane and silicone. The invention reduces the number of penetrations in a harsh environment system application thus reducing size, weight, and cost.
