Abstract:
An electrical interconnection system with an adapter mounted in an opening within a connector interface of a panel of an electronic enclosure is described. A sealing member may be used to prevent passage of foreign matter, such as liquid, gas or dust particles into the enclosure and into the mating region between the adapter and a mating plug connector. The sealing member may comprise a base and a sidewall configured to wrap around an outer border of the adapter. The sealing member may be configured to form a first sealing interface with the panel, and a second sealing interface with the plug connector. The first and second sealing interfaces may be orthogonal to each other. The sealing member may be made of an elastic material.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for mating a plug connector having a first plurality of mating contacts to an adapter connector having a second plurality of mating contacts, the method comprising:\n coupling the adapter connector to a resilient member; passing the adapter connector through an opening of a panel; and engaging the plug connector with the adapter connector such that:\n the first plurality of mating contacts electrically contact the second plurality of mating contacts, \n the plug connector contacts the panel, and \n the resilient member forms a first sealing interface with the panel and a second sealing interface with the plug connector.
