Patent attributes
A male connector (20) for connection to a female connector (30) to form a water tight connector (40) is disclosed. A plug connector body (2) and a connector overmold (5) are connected together where the plug connector body (2) of hard urethane material is molded with no mold parting lines. The soft connector overmold (5) of soft urethane is fitted about a portion of the plug connector body (2) with heat applied such that the plug body (2) and overmold (5) are fused together along their connecting surfaces so that substantially no water ingress into the connection of plug body (2) and connector overmold (5) is possible. An “O” ring (14) is placed in an annular space (12) defined between facing shoulders of the connector overmold (5) and the plug connector body (2). Annular alignment keyways (16) of; the female connector (30) engage the “O” ring (14) to seal the male connector (20) and female connector (30) from water ingress.
