A grommet is provided for insertion into a hole defined through and surrounded by a housing wall of an electrical device through which one or more electrical connectors exit. The grommet generally includes first and second legs connected by a connecting portion. The first and second legs have flange portions and lip portions extending outwardly from the first and second leg's end portions generally opposite the connecting portion. The flange and lip portions collectively define at least one groove for receiving a portion of the housing wall. The grommet also includes a slit extending at least partially between the first and second legs, and at least one aperture for engagingly receiving at least one electrical connector therethrough. The grommet, when engaged with the hole, seals against the housing wall and the electrical connector within the aperture to thereby inhibit the ingress of moisture through the hole.
