Abstract
An electrical connector has an interface seal mounted on a plug portion of a thermoplastic connector body which serves as the mounting surface for the interface seal. The plug portion has a conformation which opens onto the mounting surface and the interface seal has a retainer portion which snaps into the conformation to assure that the interface seal is always correctly positioned. The interface seal has a sealing portion which is made of silicone compounds and the retainer portion is made from thermoplastic material or silicone compounds having a substantially higher durometer than the silicone compounds of the sealing portion.
