Improved Connector Insert
Abstract
An improved electrical connector having an electrical connector housing and at least one face seal, wherein the improved electrical connector is a single molded connector housing. The electrical connector housing includes a plurality of passageways extending from a first end to a second end. A face seal includes a plurality of openings corresponding to the plurality of passageways within the electrical connector housing, each passageway having a semi-o-ring on at least one side of the face seal. In a preferred embodiment, the improved electrical connector is made form an o-ring type material such as, but not limited to, neoprene or Buna-N rubber. The improved electrical connector does not need additional seals to create a waterproof seal, and therefore does not suffer from increased tolerance stack-up. Furthermore, when constructed from an o-ring type material, the improved electrical connector does not cold flow around a receptacle's pins.
