The 2 Pole Black NBR Connector Seal is a precision-moulded connector cavity seal designed to sit inside female automotive connector housings. This terminal seal creates a reliable environmental barrier around each wire entry point, preventing water, dust, oil mist, and other contaminants from entering the electrical system. When properly installed in a compatible connector housing, it supports IP67 and IP68 waterproof performance for demanding automotive and industrial environments.
Manufactured from premium NBR (Nitrile Rubber), this connector seal offers excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids—making it particularly well-suited for engine bay, underbody, and transmission area applications where hydrocarbon exposure is common. The controlled compression design ensures consistent sealing force around wire insulation while maintaining stable compression set over the seal's service life.
ARPL manufactures high-quality 2 pole black NBR connector seals for automotive wiring harness applications and industrial connector systems. As a leading automotive connector seal manufacturer in India, we supply connector cavity seals to OEM and Tier-1 wiring harness manufacturers serving global automotive programs. This rubber connector seal for automotive wiring harness applications provides essential environmental protection for sensitive electrical connections.
The 2 pin connector cavity seal is installed inside female connector housings where it seals around individual wires entering the connector. This design prevents ingress of water, dust, oil mist, and road contaminants that could cause electrical failures. Applications include engine bay connectors, underbody wiring harnesses, cabin electrical systems, sensor connections, lighting assemblies, and EV sub-systems where environmental sealing is critical.
This connector seal is manufactured from NBR (Nitrile Rubber), selected specifically for its excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, brake fluids, and hydraulic fluids. NBR connector seals are the preferred choice for applications with hydrocarbon exposure in the automotive engine compartment and underbody zones.
ARPL also offers alternative materials: EPDM for weather/ozone resistance, HNBR for enhanced temperature and oil resistance, FKM (Viton) for extreme conditions, and Silicone for the widest temperature range (-55°C to +200°C).
With over 30 years of rubber moulding experience, ARPL delivers manufacturing excellence in precision sealing components including high-precision tooling, flash control with cryogenic deflashing, zero-defect quality systems, and full PPAP support. ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 certified, we support customers in Germany, USA, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, UK, UAE, Thailand, Vietnam, Poland, Czech Republic, and Hungary.

Find answers to common questions about NBR connector seals for automotive applications
A 2 pole black NBR connector seal is a rubber connector cavity seal that fits inside female automotive connector housings to seal around individual wires. It prevents water, dust, oil, and contaminants from entering the electrical system. NBR connector seals are commonly used in engine bay connectors, underbody wiring harnesses, sensor connections, ECU/TCU connectors, and lighting systems where oil and fuel resistance is required.
NBR connector seals offer excellent oil, fuel, and hydrocarbon resistance, making them ideal for engine compartment and fuel system applications (-40C to +120C). Silicone connector seals provide wider temperature range (-55C to +200C) and better ozone/UV resistance, preferred for high-temperature exhaust sensors or outdoor applications. ARPL can recommend the optimal material based on your specific environment.
When used in a properly designed connector system with correct wire diameter matching and appropriate connector housing, NBR connector seals can achieve IP67 (dust-tight, protected against temporary immersion) or IP68 (dust-tight, protected against continuous immersion) protection ratings.
NBR connector seals operate reliably from -40C to +120C, making them suitable for engine bay, underbody, cabin, and general automotive environments. They excel in areas exposed to oils, fuels, brake fluids, and hydraulic fluids. For temperatures above 120C or extreme cold, ARPL can offer HNBR or silicone alternatives.
Yes, ARPL offers complete custom development capability for connector cavity seals.
