Abstract:
An electrical pin and sleeve device is disclosed. The pin and sleeve device incorporating one or more features to provide improved protection (e.g., sealing) from the environment (e.g., rain, water, dust, etc.). Additionally, and/or alternatively, the pin and sleeve device may include one or more features to facilitate easier assembly and use. For example, the outer housing of the pin and sleeve device may include an inwardly extending projection defining a shelf for contacting a grommet positioned within the outer housing of the pin and sleeve device. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the pin and sleeve devices may incorporate a cable boot to provide an improved seal between the electrical cable and the clamp nut to prevent the ingress of water, dust, or the like.
