Claim:
1. A wire pass-through seal assembly, comprising: a seal of a compressible material having at least one opening with an interior surface adapted to receive and circumferentially continuously engage an exterior surface of at least one wire passing therethrough, and a generally axially and circumferentially extending engagement surface disposed around at least a portion of each of said at least one openings, the engagement surface having at least a circumferentially continuous portion that is not parallel to an axis of the opening and is disposed at an acute included angle relative to the axis of the opening so that when the engagement surface is engaged by a complementary compression surface of another component at least a portion of the seal is compressed by relative displacement of the another component generally axially toward the seal to force the interior surface of the at least one opening into firm circumferentially continuous engagement with the exterior surface of the at least one wire to provide a more fluid tight seal between the seal and the at least one wire; and a seal clamp engaged with and compressing at least a portion of the seal and including an opening aligned with each of said at least one openings in the seal so that said at least one wire passes through the seal clamp.
