Abstract
An arrangement for protecting a multi-port electrical connection between a component housed in a housing part and a cable from its environment, for example from varying weather conditions. The arrangement comprises a single piece tube like adapter, said adapter having a non-uniform internal cross-sectioned portion for receiving a first electrical connection part in a single predetermined orientation and an internal circumferential seal for sealing against the cable passing through said adapter and connected to the first electrical connection part. The arrangement additionally comprises an external surface portion of non-uniform cross-section locatable within a receiving recess of the housing part in a single predetermined orientation and an external circumferential seal for sealing against a part of the receiving recess. The arrangement acts so that the adapter is fixable within the housing part so as to align the first electrical connection part housed in the adapter with respect to a second electrical connection part housed in the housing so as to form the multi-port electrical connection and so as to provide an environmental seal between the cable and the housing part. In this w…
