Abstract
An electrical connector with a wire seal member. The wire seal member has seal member openings which extend through the seal member. Recesses are provided proximate the seal member openings and extend about the circumference of the seal member openings, the recesses extend from a first surface of the seal member in a direction toward a second surface. A rear-loaded cover/retainer is positioned proximate the wire seal member. The cover/retainer has cover/retainer openings, the cover/retainer openings are positioned to align with the seal member openings. The cover/retainer openings have projections which are positioned about the circumference of the cover/retainer openings. Wherein as the projections of the cover/retainer are moved into the recesses of the wire seal member, the projections enter the recesses and cause the seal member openings to interact with and seal the wire conductors.
