Abstract
A sealed connector assembly is provided for interconnecting two or more electrical wires. A dual-durometer body includes a relatively rigid plug portion and a relatively resilient sealing portion, with corresponding channels in the portions for receiving the wires. A conductive contact element is mounted on the resilient plug portion of the body and is adapted to electrically interconnect the wires. A relatively resilient sealing cover is adapted to telescope with the body and to seal the rigid plug portion and the contact element. The body and cover have complementary interengaging convolutions to retain the body and cover in an interengaged sealed condition.
