Abstract
An improved connector for an electrical cable and method therefor employs a filler cap that provides a seal for protecting the connector against intrusion of unwanted materials. The filler cap may be a planar filler cap in some embodiments, or the filler cap may be a right-angle filler cap in some embodiments suitable for low-profile right-angle connectors. In some embodiments, shaped protrusions are provided on the underside of the filler cap that fit into openings or holes in the connector where the lead terminations appear. In some embodiments, troughs may be formed between the filler cap and the connector for receiving a sealant material, such as an epoxy or resin material, to further seal off the connector. The above arrangement helps prevent or at least minimize unwanted materials from entering the interior of the connector.
