Waterproof electrical connector

An electrical connector comprising:

• an inner insulative member defining a base and a mating tongue forwardly extending therefrom along a front-to-back direction;
• a plurality of contacts integrally formed, via an insert molding process, with said inner insulative member and defining a front mating section exposed upon the mating tongue and a rear mounted section exposed outside of the base;
• an outer insulative member integrally formed, via an over-molding process, upon the inner insulative member after the inner insulative member is formed with the contacts thereon, said outer insulative member defining a rear base portion circumferentially engaged with the base of the inner insulative member, and a front frame portion forwardly extending from the rear base portion and enclosing the mating tongue therein;
• at least one mounting hole extending through the rear base portion in said front-to-back direction and at least an injection hole outwardly communicating with an exterior and inwardly transversely communicating with the mounting hole under an intersectional manner;
• and
• a metallic shell adapted to be assembled to the outer insulative member after the outer insulative member is formed with the inner insulative member, said shell generally located between the outer insulative member and the inner insulative member, and defining a body portion within the front frame portion of the outer insulative member to enclose the mating tongue, and at least a mounting leg snugly extending through the mounting hole with a tiny gap therebetween and out of a rear face of the outer insulative member;
• wherein:
• glues seals said gap around an intersection area of said mounting hole and said injection hole via injecting said glues into the injection hole.
