Patent ID: 7150638

Claim:
A device for covering a mating end of an electrical connector having at least one conductive terminal, comprising: a non-conductive cover: sealingly attachable to the electrical connector, substantially completely covering the mating end of the electrical connector, and, having an external end, and, an internal end; the external end of the non-conductive cover being generally planar, and, having at least one electrically conductive pad, each conductive pad corresponding to a conductive terminal of the connector; and, a plurality of electrical conductors, each connectable to one of the conductive pads to one of the corresponding conductive terminals of the connector; the conductive terminals of the connector electrically connected to a component; and, the device, including the non-conductive cover, subsequently detachable; wherein the cover sealingly attachable to the electrical connector comprises a flange of the internal end mechanically interferingly fitting within the electrical connector.
