Abstract
A waterproof seal assembly for electrical connectors is disclosed having an elastomeric sleeve which encircles a portion of the cable and the plug end of the electrical connector. An adaptor, used to secure the receiving jack, extends from the securing point to meet the sleeve, thereby completely encircling the connection. A sealing bead may be provided on the inner surface of the sleeve to engage the adaptor and seal out moisture, dust, and other corrosive contaminants.
