An enclosure for containing an electrical connector for connecting a plurality of conductors, the enclosure comprising:
- a first cover half comprising a first half of a conductor channel portion extending from a first end of the enclosure to a second end of the enclosure;
- a second cover half comprising a second half of the conductor channel portion extending from the first end of the enclosure to the second end of the enclosure;
- at least one first seal member positionable between the first cover half and the second cover half;
- a first latch member pivotably attached to the first cover half;
- a second latch member pivotably attached to the second cover half, and
- wherein when the first cover half is mated with the second cover half with the at least one seal member positioned between the first cover half and the second cover half, the first latch member is pivoted to latch with the second cover half and the second latch member is pivoted to latch with the first cover half such that the first half of the conductor channel portion and the second half of the conductor channel portion form an inner pocket extending from the first end of the enclosure to the second end of the enclosure for receiving the electrical connector and the plurality of conductors.
An enclosure for containing electrical connectors for connecting a plurality of conductors, the enclosure comprising:
- a first cover half comprising a first half of a conductor channel portion extending from a first end of the enclosure to a second end of the enclosure;
- a second cover half comprising a second half of a conductor channel portion extending from the first end of the enclosure to the second end of the enclosure;
- at least one first seal member positionable with respect to at least one of the first cover half and the second cover half;
- at least one second seal member positionable with respect to at least one of the first cover half and the second cover half;
- a first latch member pivotably attached to the first cover half;
- a second latch member pivotably attached to the second cover half;
- and
- wherein when the first cover half is mated with the second cover half with the at least one first seal member and the at least one second seal member positioned with respect to the first cover half and the second cover half, the first latch member is pivoted to latch with the second cover half and the second latch member is pivoted to latch with the first cover half such that the first half of the conductor channel portion and the second half of the conductor channel portion form an inner pocket extending from the first end of the enclosure to the second end of the enclosure for receiving the electrical connector and the plurality of conductors.
An enclosure for containing electrical connectors for connecting a plurality of conductors, the enclosure comprising:
- a first cover half comprising a first cavity extending from a first end of the enclosure to a second end of the enclosure and at least one wall including one or more alignment notches;
- a second cover half comprising a second cavity extending from the first end of the enclosure to the second end of the enclosure and at least one wall including one or more alignment notches;
- at least one seal member positionable between the first cover half and the second cover half;
- a first latch member pivotably attached to the first cover half;
- a second latch member pivotably attached to the second cover half;
- and
- wherein when the first cover half is mated with the second cover half the first and second cavities form an inner pocket extending from the first end of the enclosure to the second end of the enclosure for receiving an electrical connector.
