Abstract
A connector (10) has a body (12) with an outwardly projecting flange spaced rearward from the front end (14) of the body (12). Wide mounting slots (36) extend through the flange (32). A seal (40) has a frame-shaped body (42) mounted over the front end (14) of the body (12) and against the flange (32). Attachment tabs (60) project back from the frame-shaped body (32) and through the mounting slots (36). The attachment tabs (60) have a length greater than their width and a width greater than their thickness. Portions of the attachment tabs (60) rearward of the attachment tabs (60) rearward of and adjacent to the flange (32) are wide than the mounting slots (36) for holding the seal (60) on the housing (12).
