Abstract
A connector assembly includes a mat seal and a conductor seal. The mat seal is shaped to fit within an opening in a connector housing of the connector assembly. The mat seal defines at least one a seal passage extending therethrough. The conductor seal defines a conductor passage extending therethrough. The conductor seal is configured to receive conductor, such as an insulated electrical cable, within the conductor passage. The conductor seal is received within the seal passage. The mat seal and the conductor seal cooperate to inhibit intrusion of contaminants into the connector housing. A method of assembling a connector assembly having a mat seal and a conductor seal is also presented herein.
