Abstract
A flanged hollow shroud that is adapted to be sealingly secured to an aperture bulkhead as used, for example, in a vehicle to separate an engine compartment from a passenger compartment, is used to telescopically receive the mating end of a pair of male and female connectors having mating electrical terminals therein. At least one of the connectors, such as the male connector located on the engine compartment side of the bulkhead is sealingly fixed to the shroud and the electric terminals therein are also sealed adjacent to their outboard end within the respective cavities supporting these terminals.
