Abstract
A connector includes a connector housing and a cable assembly configured to be inserted into the connector housing and fixed to the connector housing. The cable assembly has a cable, a terminal portion configured to electrically connect the cable to an external terminal, and a sealing assembly pressed into an outer sheath of the cable and forming a watertight seal with the cable. The sealing assembly is disposed separately from the terminal portion. The cable assembly is elastically connected to a first fastening portion of the connector housing.
Claims18
A connector, comprising:
- a connector housing;
- and
- a cable assembly configured to be inserted into the connector housing and fixed to the connector housing, the cable assembly including a cable, a terminal portion configured to electrically connect the cable to an external terminal, and a sealing assembly pressed into an outer sheath of the cable and forming a watertight seal with the cable, the sealing assembly is disposed separately from the terminal portion and includes a main body having a main hole through which the cable passes and a connecting rod extending in a longitudinal direction of the cable, a seal having a cable hole through which the cable passes and a body hole through which the connecting rod passes, and a sub body having a subhole through which the cable passes and a tip hole into which an end portion of the connecting rod is inserted, the cable assembly is elastically connected to a first fastening portion of the connector housing.
A method of manufacturing a connector, comprising:
- assembling a sealing assembly;
- inserting the sealing assembly onto a cable after assembling the sealing assembly, the sealing assembly includes a main body having a main hole through which the cable passes and a connecting rod extending in a longitudinal direction of the cable, a seal having a cable hole through which the cable passes and a body hole through which the connecting rod passes, and a sub body having a subhole through which the cable passes and a tip hole into which an end portion of the connecting rod is inserted;
- providing a terminal portion in the cable to electrically connect the cable to an external terminal;
- and
- forming a connector assembly by combining a connector housing, the sealing assembly, and the terminal portion, the sealing assembly is elastically connected to a first fastening portion of the connector housing to lock the sealing assembly to the connector housing, the sealing assembly is disposed separately from the terminal portion.
A connector, comprising:
- a connector housing;
- and
- a cable assembly configured to be inserted into the connector housing and fixed to the connector housing, the cable assembly including a cable, a terminal portion configured to electrically connect the cable to an external terminal, and a sealing assembly pressed into an outer sheath of the cable and forming a watertight seal with the cable, the sealing assembly is disposed separately from the terminal portion, the cable assembly is elastically connected to a first fastening portion of the connector housing,
- wherein the terminal portion has a center contact connected to an inner conductor of the cable, a shield contact connected to an outer conductor of the cable, and a shield housing at an end portion of the cable, the shield housing separating the center contact and the shield contact, and
- wherein the sealing assembly has a first fastener configured to be connected to the first fastening portion and the shield housing has a second fastener configured to be connected to a second fastening portion of the connector housing.
