Electrical Connector and Method of Manufacturing an Electrial Connector

Abstract

An electrical connector configured to be mated with an electrical counter-connector, the electrical connector comprising a housing member, an electrical terminal housed in a corresponding terminal cavity of the housing member, and an anti-vibration element. The electrical connector is characterized in that the housing member further comprises a traversing groove traversing the housing member from an external housing member surface to an internal housing member surface that defines the corresponding terminal cavity, and the anti-vibration element is arranged in the traversing groove. The invention further relates to an electrical connector assembly comprising the electrical connector and an electrical counter-connector, to a method of assembling the electrical connector assembly, and to a method of manufacturing an electrical connector, in particular the electrical connector of the invention.
