Abstract
An apparatus includes a first element and a second element configured to be repeatedly mechanically coupled to and decoupled from one another, a first seal between the first element and the second element, and a second seal between the first element and the second element. The first seal is configured to inhibit moisture ingress from an environment surrounding the first and second elements to a first region enclosed at least partially by the first seal and the second seal is configured to inhibit moisture ingress from the first region to a second region enclosed at least partially by the second seal. One of the first and second seals includes two first surfaces of the first and second elements in contact with one another, and another one of the first and second seals includes a second surface and a resiliently bendable protrusion of the first and second elements in contact with one another.
