Abstract
An electrical connector device which provides for a sealed, weather-proof electrical connection in an electrical circuit. The electrical connector device includes a first housing element having a pair of first electrical fittings projecting therefrom and a second housing element having a pair of second electrical fittings projecting therefrom so that when the first and second housing elements are positioned next to each other the first and second electrical fittings cooperate with each other to complete an electrical connection. The first housing element also includes a pair of circumferential first flanges, each first flange surrounding a different one of the first electrical fittings, and the second housing element also includes two sets of concentric second and third circumferential flanges, each set surrounding a different one of the second electrical fittings. When the first and second housing elements are positioned next to each other with the first electrical fittings electrically connected to the second electrical fittings, the first circumferential flanges are each received in the annular space between the second and third circumferential flanges of a different one of the sets of second and third circumferential flanges to create a seal around each of the interconnected first and second electrical fittings.
