Abstract
A waterproof seal for electrical assemblies wherein at least two pins extend through the electrical conductor such that the at least two pins extending from a distal end of the electrical conductor and are adapted to interact with openings on a connecter that is detachably connectable with the distal end of the electrical connector, and the at least two pins extend from a proximal end of the electrical connector such that the at least two pins extending from the proximal end are adapted to be interact with openings in a socket formed in the surface of housing where the electrical connector forms a water tight barrier preventing water from entering the housing through the electrical connector or around the electrical connector.
Claims18
A watertight electrical connector comprising:
- a connector base including:
- a body portion adapted to be inserted into an opening in a surface and forming a seal between an inner surface of the opening and an exterior surface of the body portion;
- a flange section adapted to interact with the surface;
- a connector body having:
- a flange portion adapted to interact with the flange section and form a seal between said connector body and said connector base;
- a raised section forming a cavity adapted to receive a male connector;
- at least two pins mounted on the flange section;
- a spacer holding at least two conductors connected to said at least two pins respectively within an internal space of said body portion;
- an epoxy applied to the internal space such that said epoxy creates a seal preventing water from traveling through said body portion;
- wherein said connector body is detachably connectable with said body portion;
- and
- wherein said connector base is detachably connectable with said opening.
