Claim 12:
13. A method of manufacturing an electrical connector, comprising:
providing a first conductor for receiving electrical power from and connecting to an electrical power source;
coupling a first seal to the first conductor for protecting the first conductor;
positioning the first conductor in an insulating body, the insulating body having an electrical terminal that establishes electrical connections between the first conductor and a plurality of electrical terminal pins;
coupling a downhole cable to a first electrical terminal pin of the plurality of electrical terminal pins;
establishing an electrical connection between the first electrical terminal pin and the downhole cable to provide the electric power; and
protecting the downhole cable with a second seal coupled to the downhole cable,
wherein:
the first seal and the second seal each comprise a substantially cylindrical body and a plurality of peripheral ridges having semi-circular profile, protruding outward from the substantially cylindrical body,
an interior of the substantially cylindrical body of the first seal comprising two or more cylindrical sections connected to each other by a tapered cylindrical section tapering inward towards an axial center of the substantially cylindrical body, and
the peripheral ridges and tapered cylindrical sections are separate and distinct from each other.
