Abstract
An environmentally sealed instrument circuit adapter connecting a process transmitter to instrument wiring. An environmentally sealing elastomeric part seals between a lip on an outer sleeve and a connector header of the process transmitter. One or more washers can provide sealing between the lip and the elastomeric part when tightened. The adapter protects contact pins, sockets and loop wires from damage due to liquids, humidity, dust and other contaminants.
