Abstract
Seal retainers for electrical connectors. The seal retainers described herein comprise a retainer plate having one or more slots therein to accommodate a wire or wires leading into a connector. In the retaining position, the retainer plate extends across the connector cavities with the wires passing through the retainer plate slots. A seal and/or secondary lock disposed around the wire in the connector cavities are engaged by the interface of the retainer plate to prevent outward axial movement thereof from the cavities. The retainer plate includes a peripheral flange which fits into a peripheral recess of the connector body and thus lies flush with the connector body surfaces. At least one dovetail tab extends axially from each side of said retainer, said tabs extending from said retainer plate flange. Dovetail recesses in the container body are aligned to receive said dovetail retainer tabs.
