Abstract
An electrical distribution center having a terminal connector body overlying a housing. The connector body has a plurality of cavities. Terminals have blades which project from the housing into the cavities through an inner surface of the connector body. A sealing member is interposed between the housing and the connector body and seals around each of the blades and against the inner surface of the connector body around each of the cavities. The sealing member has a substrate layer covered on both sides by layers of silicone rubber. Cable terminals are adapted to be inserted into the cavities through an outer surface of the connector body to make electrical contact with the blades projecting from the housing.
