A coupling connector is disclosed that electrically interconnects conductors contained in components of modular systems such as modular wiring or strip lighting systems, or the like. The coupling connector includes a pair of connector ends interconnected by at least one conductor, the ends of which terminate in conductive gel. Each connector end is firmly attached to surfaces of the components to be interconnected so that the conductive gel contacts the conductors contained within the components where the conductors intersect the components surface. Moisture resistant seals are arranged to seal the areas of contact from the elements. A cover is provided which is removably attached to the two connector ends to provide a relatively rigid structure. The cover is removable to provide access for disassembling the coupling connector.
