Connector seal

A connector seal comprising:

• a seal main body;
• and
• a plurality of terminal insertion bores disposed on the seal main body,
• wherein the terminal insertion bores each include a membrane therein, the membrane having an upper membrane portion and a lower membrane portion spaced a distance along an insertion direction of a terminal, the upper and the lower membrane portions having terminal end portions thereof, which overlap one another in the insertion direction, the overlapping portions being interconnected with a lamella extending along a step portion of each of the respective membrane portions in the insertion direction,
• wherein a height of the lamella in the insertion direction is greater than a thickness of the lamella and both an upper and lower surface of both the upper and lower membrane portions extend perpendicularly from a wall of each of the terminal insertion bores to form a rectangular shaped upper membrane portion cross section and a rectangular shaped lower membrane portion cross section, wherein the height of the lamella extends from a lower edge of the upper membrane portion to an upper edge of the lower membrane portion,
• wherein the terminal insertion bores are arranged in in rows and columns in respective X-Y directions on the main seal body with the terminal insertion bores in each of the rows being equally spaced and the terminal insertion bores in each of the columns being equally spaced, and with the spacing between the adjacent terminal insertion bores in each of the rows being smaller than the spacing between adjacent terminal insertion bores in each of the columns, and
• wherein the upper and the lower membrane portions of adjacent terminal insertion bores in the Y direction project into their respective bores in opposite directions along the Y direction and the respective upper or lower membrane of adjacent bores in the Y direction are at a same height in the terminal insertion direction.
