Abstract

An electrical socket connector is detachably secured to an electromagnetic fuel injector having a pair of upstanding pin terminals located on opposite sides of and radially spaced from an upstanding central boss. The electrical socket connector has a connector body comprising a pair of longitudinal, laterally spaced terminal housings each having a pin grip terminal disposed therein and receiving one of the pin terminals. The terminal housings are connected together by integral bridges and a pair of longitudinally spaced, vertical latch arms are disposed between the terminal housings and pivotally connected thereto for latching onto the central boss. A seal member comprises a pair of elastomeric sleeves which are connected by an integral saddle at one end and mounted on the depending sockets respectively. Each sleeve has an inward circular sealing lip which seals around a plastic sleeve surrounding the pin terminal inserted into its associated socket.
