GLOSSARY

TERM

DEFINITION

End Cap

A protective cover integral to, or sonically welded onto the rear of a connector.

Enhanced Keying

Additional keying or polarization to help prevent mis-mating.

Enhanced Seal

Retention

Modification to the plug, front seal, and wedgelock to help prevent the seal from separating from the connector during unmating.

“E” Seal

Reduced diameter insert cavity in the rear grommet. Creates a proper seal with smaller than standard wire or insulation. Also referred to

as extra thin or European seal. “E” seals are smaller than “N” and “T” seals.

Flange

A flat, perpendicular extension of the connector body. Flanges are used for mounting and are typically found on receptacles.

Flange Seal

Elastomeric silicone seal used between flange and mounting surface to prevent leakage around the mounting cutout.

Front Seal

Elastomeric silicone seal or o-ring on the mating face of a connector. The front seal is also referred to as an interfacial seal and is usually

found on the plug.

Grommet

Rubber or elastomeric seal. On connectors the grommet is on the rear or cable end of the connector and has the cavities through which

the contact is inserted into the connector body.

Header

Flanged connector designed for wire to printed circuit board applications.

In-line

Connectors that are not intended for use in mounted or PCB applications.

Interface

The surfaces of a mating pair of connectors that face each other when connected.

Internal Seal

Waterproof form, typically made of silicone elastomer, that is inside the body of the connector. Provides moisture and fluid resistance

when connectors are properly mated.

Key

Unique pattern of corresponding notches and projections on a set of mating connectors. The projections are intended to match the

notches and prevent mis-mating.

Keying Pin

Solid plastic rod designed to be inserted into an empty socket cavity to help prevent mis-mating.
