Abstract
A submersible electrical connector assembly () includes an electrical connector () mounted to a first substrate () where a second substrate () adjoins the first substrate (). The second substrate () is comprised of a pliable material that acts as a seal. The first substrate and second substrate are positioned within a compartmentalized area of an electrical device housing for preventing water or other fluid from entering an aperture within the housing. Although water may inadvertently enter the electrical connector (), the connector assembly () is substantially submersible since water is prevented from entering the housing () as used for an electronic device.
