Abstract
A sealing system for a connector assembly used to house one-piece right-angle electrical terminals. The assembly has a first part for receiving the terminals and allowing the terminals to be turned such that wire-connect portions of the terminal are seated in the first part and electrical mating portions of the terminals perpendicular to the wire-connect portions extend through a second part. The second part has an insertion section for receipt in an opening and recess of the first part and a chamber section for accommodating the mating portions of the terminals. A gap is formed by the relative sizes and shapes of the parts around the insertion section at an engagement area between the first and second parts. Latch features within the first part and on the insertion section secure the two parts together internally from the gap. A resilient gasket fits into the gap and seals the engagement area.
