Patent ID: 10476200

Abstract:
A screw-on female connector for a multi-pin switch having a housing with a retaining flange around the front end of the housing. A screw-on nut is mounted rotatably on the front end of the housing and the retaining flange retains the screw-on nut at the front end of the housing while allowing it to be screwed onto the mounting threads of a male switch. The screw-on female connector has a front seal positioned in an interior of the housing near the front end of the housing. The front seal is constructed to form a water tight connection between the screw-on female connector and a male connector when the screw-on nut is tightened onto the male connector. The screw-on nut also prevents the two connectors from being pulled apart. A rear seal at a rear end of the housing, in combination with the front seal, completely seals the screw-on female connector.
