What is this little rubber piece called?

Please reference the attached image.

See the orange piece on this connector? I lost one of these working under the hood of my car. (The piece I lost was to a one-wire connector, NOT a two-wire connector connector, as in the picture). What is this piece called? I need to order a replacement for the piece I lost.

It appears to serve the same function as an O-ring. I guess it's to keep moisture out of the electrical connection.

Thanks for your help!

Bill

The type of connector is referred to as a weather pack. That should get you started on a some productive google / duck duck go searches, or look on Amazon, eBay, etc.

I'm sure some users here have some favorite sources for those parts. Fortunately, I have not had the need yet.
