Abstract
Termini assemblies of electrical cable connector assemblies and methods of formation include a termini housing configured to receive an electrical cable and a dynamic seal assembly disposed in the termini housing and including a first portion having an O-ring seal configuration and configured to seal the termini assembly up to a pressure threshold and a second portion having a cup seal configuration and configured to seal the termini assembly at pressures greater than the pressure threshold. Methods of installing the electrical cable connector assemblies include installing the electrical cable connector assembly in a low or high pressure application, wherein installation in the low pressure application results in at least one of the first and second portions of the dynamic seal assembly sealing the termini assembly, and wherein installation in the high pressure application results in the second portion of the dynamic seal assembly sealing the termini assembly.
