Abstract
An electrical assembly is disclosed that provides evidence of tampering. The assembly includes a plug housing with a seal cover attached thereto. A wire dress cover is attached over the seal cover, and a locking insert is placed through the wire dress cover and is held in place by a serialized lock-wire. The locking insert overlies a jack screw, which prevents the disconnection of the plug housing or removal of a wire cover without first removing the locking insert or lock-wire.
