Abstract: An electrical connector with a wire seal member. The wire seal member has seal member openings which extend through the seal member. Recesses are provided proximate the seal member openings and extend about the circumference of the seal member openings, the recesses extend from a first surface of the seal member in a direction toward a second surface. A rear-loaded cover/retainer is positioned proximate the wire seal member. The cover/retainer has cover/retainer openings, the cover/retainer openings are positioned to align with the seal member openings. The cover/retainer openings have projections which are positioned about the circumference of the cover/retainer openings. Wherein as the projections of the cover/retainer are moved into the recesses of the wire seal member, the projections enter the recesses and cause the seal member openings to interact with and seal the wire conductors.

Abstract: Sealed rear-loaded electrical connector housings, assemblies and systems are disclosed. The housing includes a connector having a TPA cap including an aperture and a TPA leg, a rear wire seal including a wire aperture and a TPA leg aperture, and a housing including a positioning surface. In a pre-loaded configuration, the rear wire seal is inserted into the housing, and the TPA cap is mounted onto the housing with the aperture aligned with the wire aperture and the TPA leg disposed at least partially in the TPA leg aperture. In a loaded configuration, the TPA cap is mounted deeper onto and locked in place on the housing, and the TPA leg passes through the TPA leg aperture forming a water-tight seal with the TPA leg aperture. The assembly includes the connector and a wire-crimped terminal disposed in the connector. The system includes a first connector and a second connector.
