The stud assembly includes a cylindrical cap which covers a jumper cable contact end of the stud and releasably engages an adjacent end portion of the insulating body. The stud assembly also includes a boot member which has one end thereof sealed against an insulator of a cable extending therethrough into electrical communication with the other end of the stud with the other end of the boot member engaging an adjacent end of the insulating body. The stud assembly thus formed provides a stud which may be completely isolated from the ambient environment when not in use.
