Leak-tight connector for electrical cables

摘要

A sealing and connecting device for cables used in a hydraulic control system of an automatic transmission includes a connecting element to be fixed into a hole formed in a housing in which the hydraulic control system is installed. The connecting element is formed substantially in cylindrical shape and provides plural passages and an internal cylindrical space, wherein a rubber bushing is inserted having the same number of through holes as the number of the above passages. Cables having ends electrically connected to a solenoid valve in the hydraulic control system are inserted through the holes in the rubber bushing, and the free ends of the cable are electrically connected within the above passages to other cables which are electrically connected outside the housing. A synthetic resin filler is poured into the surroundings of the cable connection and into the passages where it sets. The connecting element is then pushed into the housing hole and fixed by a flange which projects outward radially and by radially projecting elastic tabs.
