Abstract
A combined terminal secondary lock and seal for securing a terminal within a connector cavity in sealed relation comprises a sleeve surrounding the end of the wire and a portion of the terminal and abutting against the widened terminal contact portion. The sleeve includes a plurality of apertures adjacent the insulated portion of the wire, which apertures define a plurality of axially aligned spaced slats sufficient to provide axial rigidity to the sleeve. A resilient seal ring is integrally molded into the apertures and extends outwardly into circumferential sealing engagement with a cavity of the connector and inwardly into circumferential sealing engagement with an insulated portion of the wire. A sleeve retainer is provided on the connector for securing the sleeve and terminal against axial movement.
