Abstract
An electrical connector receptacle for use in over-the-road vehicles includes a receptacle body and a mounting flange extending outwardly from the body, with the mounting flange adapted to be mounted in a generally vertical disposition on a vehicle. The body has a closed end and a chamber, with the chamber having an axis generally perpendicular to the plane of the mounting flange. There are a plurality of electrical contact pins mounted on the body closed end which extend into the chamber. The chamber has an open end and a cover pivotally mounted on the body to close the chamber open end. There is a drain passage formed in the bottom of the chamber and extending generally axially for a substantial portion of the length of the chamber. The drain passage slants downwardly from adjacent the body closed end to the body open end.
