An electrical connector system including first and second electrical connector members mated to one another to form a sealed connection in order to protect electrically-conductive components against the infiltration of moisture. The first connector member includes a socket with a first annular ridge at its tip, while a second annular ridge is formed within the socket at its base. An electrically-conductive pin is housed within the first connector member and extends into the interior of the socket. The second connector member includes a plug. An electrically-conductive socket, mated to the pin, is housed within the plug. When the plug of the second connector member is mated with the socket of the first connector member, the tip of the plug contacts the annular ridge at the base of the socket, which is deformed so as to form a water-tight seal between the tip of the plug and the base of the socket. Likewise, the annular ridge at the tip of the socket contacts the base of the recess and is deformed so as to form another water-tight seal between the tip of the socket and the base of the recess.
