PROTECTIVE CAP FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR
DRIVE
March 26, 2026
A protective cap for an electrical connector of a wire harness has a body made of an electrically conductive material. The body has an end wall and a sleeve projecting from a first side of the end wall around a central axis. The sleeve has threads for threaded engagement with corresponding threads of the electrical connector. The sleeve and the end wall defines a receptacle. A grounding/bonding feature is integrated on an outer surface of the sleeve or the end wall. The grounding/bonding feature is electrically connectable to an electrically conductive component to electrically protect the unmated connector.
