Abstract: A connector assembly for an antenna which includes an antenna cover. The connector assembly includes a connector mount with one or more connectors and a connector housing enclosing the connectors. The connector mount extends through an opening in the antenna cover with sufficient clearance to allow movement due to difference in thermal expansion between the antenna cover and the antenna structure. The assembly also includes a flexible seal structure attached to the connector mount and attachable to the antenna cover and dimensioned to enclose a portion of the connector mount extending outside the antenna cover to form a flexible weather resistant seal between the antenna cover and the connector mount while allowing movement of the connector mount relative to the antenna cover.
