Abstract
A sealed electrical connector includes one connector member having an oval-shaped cavity containing electrical contacts. A second connector member has a main body of a similar oval shape and having electrical contacts for mating with the contacts in the other connector member. A circular sealing boot is inserted into the cavity so as to deform to the oval shape, thereby providing lateral forces against the cavity wall which ensures that the sealing boot is retained in the cavity and promotes a tight seal when the main body of the second connector member is inserted into the cavity. The sealing boot is formed with elastomeric material into a circular cylindrical shape and is retained in the cavity even when the connector is disconnected.
