An elastomeric wire seal for an individual electrical conductor has a forward conductor-engaging section, an intermediate housing-engaging section, and a rearward section which extends rearwardly from the connector housing when the wire seal is secured in a rearward portion of a terminal-receiving cavity of the housing. The rearward section has an annular ridge extending radially inwardly into the profiled bore of the wire seal so that when a terminated conductor has been inserted therethrough the annular ridge sealingly engages the conductor. The conductor is thus sealingly engaged at locations forwardly and rearwardly from the location where the wire seal sealingly engages the sidewalls of the rearward cavity portion.

A wire sealing means for an electrical conductor secured in a terminal-receiving cavity of an electrical connector housing, comprising an elastomeric wire seal having: a forward section of a preselected inner diameter and thickness and being elastically deformable radially outwardly; a frustoconical section extending rearwardly from said forward section and having an increasing inner and outer diameter; an intermediate cylindrical section of enlarged inner diameter and a preselected enlarged outer diameter rearwardly from said frustoconical section; a rearward section extending rearwardly from said intermediate section and said terminal receiving cavity and being elastically deformable radially outwardly said rearward section comprising a cylindrical outer peripheral surface; and a profiled bore extending axially through said wire seal; said rearward seal section having an annular portion extending radially inwardly into said profiled bore having a preselected inner diameter less than the portion of the profiled bore extending through said rearward section said annular portion and said cylindrical outer peripheral surface being radially expanded upon insertion of said electrical conductor.
