SEALED CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF SEALING A CONNECTOR

摘要

A sealed insert molded connector and method of sealing the same includes one or more inserts molded into a housing so that at least one portion of the insert extends through the housing. A bonding region is formed at the point where the insert extends through the housing. The conformal coating or sealing material is applied to the bonding region where the molded housing forms the insert creating a moisture resistant seal between the housing and the insert. The viscosity of the sealing material is chosen so that the sealing material exhibits minimum travel under the influence of gravity. A collar forming a moat or well around the bonding agent may be formed.
