Abstract
An electrical ballast for use with fluorescent light fixtures includes a housing with side and endwalls. The endwalls have cutout portions therein for receiving an electrical connector. The electrical components which comprise the ballast are mounted on a printed circuit board, and the connector is electrically interconnected to the printed circuit board and inserted within the cutout portion of the ballast housing. The connector is profiled for receipt within the cutout portion to seal the cavity within the housing during the curing period of the potting compound.
