Abstract

See full text

An environmentally sealed electrical connector for use with a load cell block. The connector includes a jacketed cable that extends through a pliable connector block. The connector block is injection molded directly around the cable to insure an environmental seal between the cable and the connector block. The connector block includes a cylindrical protrusion that extends downwardly into a passageway in the load cell block. A double-sided adhesive gasket is located between the load cell block and the connector to help form an environmental seal between the connector and the load cell block and to help attach the connector to the load cell block. The connector is attached to the load cell block using four fasteners that extend through a stiff pressure plate, the connector, and are received by holes in the side of the load cell. As the fasteners are tightened, a force is placed on the pressure plate, which in turn compresses the connector block into the load cell block, establishing an environmental seal.
