Abstract

An electric pump is housed in a recess in a wall of a water container and the pump inlet tube plugs into a lower portion of the container. A polarized electrical connector plugs onto blade terminals on top of the pump. In order to protect the connector from contamination and corrosion, the connector carries a cover plate attached by aperture lugs of the connector snapped onto pegs on the underside of the plate. A plurality of pairs of pegs in different positions can be provided for use with pumps with variously positioned terminals. When the unit is fitted with the recessed wall against a mounting surface of the vehicle, the enclosure of the pump is completed.
