Abstract
A cap for protecting an electrical terminal from corrosion having a base which is insertable upon the terminal, a tapered section designed to guide and surround a mate to the terminal as it is being connected, and a removable top which protects the terminal before connection. The tapered section deforms during the connection operation to surround the mating terminal and seal the connection from corroding species.
