1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a conduit hub configured to be releasably connected to a connector of an electronics housing, the connector having a first internal bore that communicates an interior of the electronics housing with an exterior of the electronics housing;
the conduit hub comprising a second internal bore communicating with the first internal bore, the conduit hub comprising a first end connected to the connector and a second end configured to be connected to a conduit;
a wire seal retaining electrical wiring forming a liquid-tight seal between the connector and the conduit hub;
a channel formed at least partially between and defined by the connector and the conduit hub for transporting liquid from the conduit, the channel having an inlet in liquid communication with the conduit and an outlet communicating with the exterior of the electronics housing.

Abstract
A cord grip has a conduit hub configured to be connected to an electronics housing. A bore is formed in the conduit hub and has a first end communicating with the electronics housing and a second end configured to be connected to a conduit. A wire seal retains electrical wiring and is located in the hub forming a liquid-tight seal between the first end and the second end. A channel for transporting liquid from the conduit has an inlet communicating with the conduit and an outlet communicating with the exterior of the electronics housing. An overmolded bond may be formed between the wire seal and the electrical wiring.
