Electric connector

An electric connector comprising:

• a connecting portion configured to be connected with an opposite connector;
• a main body portion positioned behind the connecting portion in a direction of connection with the opposite connector;
• a conductive contact extending from the main body portion along the direction of connection and held by both the connecting portion and the main body portion, wherein an opening is formed in the main body portion that creates an exposed portion of the conductive contact;
• a removable conductive shell that surrounds the connecting portion and that extends in the direction of connection, wherein a tubular-shaped interface of the removable conductive shell is connected to the main body portion;
• and
• a waterproof member having an internal waterproof portion and an external waterproof portion integrally formed together as a single unitary body,
• wherein the internal waterproof portion fills the opening of the main body portion and covers the exposed portion of the conductive contact exposed from the opening to waterproof an interior of the electric connector, and
• wherein the external waterproof portion has an annular shape and surrounds an entire circumference of the main body portion, the external waterproof portion contacting the tubular-shaped interface of the removable conductive shell and forming a raised waterproof seal that extends perpendicularly to the direction of connection outside an exterior surface of the removable conductive shell to waterproof an exterior of the electric connector.
