Electrical connector having an over-molded sealing member

摘要

An electrical connector includes a terminal module, a first sealing member embodied in a rear portion of the terminal module and a metallic shell shielding around the terminal module and the first sealing member. The terminal module has an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals received in the housing. Each of the conductive terminals has a connecting section extending outwardly from a rear end of the housing. The first sealing member is insert molded on the housing of the terminal module, and the connecting sections of the conductive terminals rearwards run through the first sealing member.

1. An electrical connector comprising:
a terminal module having an insulative housing and a plurality of conductive terminals received in the housing and extending along a front-to-back direction, each of the conductive terminals having a connecting section extending outwardly from a rear end of the housing; and a first sealing member embodied upon a rear portion of the terminal module; and a metallic shell shielding around the terminal module and the first sealing member; wherein the first sealing member is over-molded upon the housing of the terminal module, and is circumferentially interferential compressed and deformed in and by the metallic shell in an interferential manner so as to prevent humidity invasion along the front-to-back direction in said metallic shell.
